The Courageous, Five-Fold Vision for Young Men

Throughout history, God has raised up men like you to do great things—to be industrious leaders, protectors for their communities, and spiritual fathers who inspire others. The world’s narrow view of masculinity doesn’t compare to God’s rich plan for you. To become the man you’re designed to be, you need to know your Creator and his will for your life.

This book offers young men a practical, five-fold vision for life based on the Apostle Paul’s message in 1 Timothy 4:12: “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” First, explore how these principles shape your identity as a child of God and a man of proven worth. Next, learn how you can grow in each of these areas, capable of becoming all that God has called you to be.

  • Practical for Life Application: Trains readers in godly virtues of healthy masculinity and spiritual maturity
  • Written for Men Ages 16 to 35: Deeply practical and encouraging, this accessible book can be used for small groups, high school and college ministries, and one-on-one mentoring 
  • A Thoughtful Gift for Men: Ideal for graduations, birthdays, Father’s Day, and more
  • Written by Marshall Segal, President and CEO of Desiring God
