Christian Focus

Joe Barnard has a passion to help young Christian men become more spiritually fit and effective in their families and communities. His book has much insight and a lot of practical help toward that goal. What he desires is more potent servants of Christ, and anyone who aspires to be such a servant will profit much from reading his book.

With so many books on discipleship being written, do men really need one more? Well, they do need a discipleship book that doesn’t rehash much of the same content, which is why men would do well to pick this up. In many ways, this is unlike most discipleship books. It imparts passion (like most) and encourages leadership (also like most), but this book provides men with a clear direction that many seem to lack. I plan to get this in the hands of my friends and work through it together.
