Description
Reclaim God's Design for Manhood in a Confused World
In an era where masculinity is under constant attack and cultural definitions shift daily, Christian men are left wondering: What does it truly mean to be a man according to God's Word?
Pastor Matthew D. Adams cuts through the cultural noise to provide a biblically grounded roadmap for authentic manhood. Act Like a Man isn't about conforming to worldly stereotypes or toxic masculinity—it's about embracing the Christlike character that defines true biblical masculinity.
Drawing from Scripture's timeless wisdom, Adams explores five foundational principles:
- righteous living
- sacrificial love
- dependent leadership
- courageous zeal
- humble servanthood
He then applies these principles across every sphere of a man's life—marriage, fatherhood, church leadership, workplace, and society.
Whether you're a husband seeking to love your wife like Christ loved the church, a father wanting to raise godly children, or a man striving to lead with integrity, this book provides practical, Spirit-empowered guidance rooted in God's unchanging Word.
Don't let culture define your manhood. Discover what it means to ‘act like a man’ according to the One who created masculinity itself.
Endorsements
This is a book that a pastor can safely place in the hands of the men of his congregation. It is pastorally faithful, veering away from the extremes that are being proliferated.

Unlike so many resources on masculinity which are full of opinions but short on God’s Word, Matt Adams’ 'Act Like a Man', is thoroughly theological. In grounding his answers in the Scriptures, he then points men to the things that really matter.

Adams shows that Christian manhood is neither effeminate nor machismo, but godly, humble, servant-hearted, and strong. I warmly commend this monograph on manhood as an instructive and practical resource for men and women alike.

This book ... strikes the perfect balance between strength and compassion, bravery and humility, confidence and meekness. I hope all of our churchmen read this—from goateed twenty-somethings to gray-bearded family patriarchs—each will find themselves sanctified as I did.
