It's Good to Be a Man

A Handbook for Godly Masculinity

By: Michael Foster, Dominic Bnonn Tennant

Narrated by: Wade Stotts

Men were made to rule. They always have and always will. Nothing can change that. Nothing will. It is not a question of whether men will be ruling, but which ones and how.

Our modern society has called for us to “smash the patriarchy”, and the church has not done much better. Instead of telling men how they can hone and refine their aggressive traits, the church has told men that they should aspire to be meek servant-leaders, and when a man shows any signs of independence, he is shown the door.

This leaves most young men lost. They don’t know what to do or how to improve, so they watch Jordan Peterson videos on YouTube to learn how to grow in their masculinity and sense of mission. In this book, Michael Foster and Bnonn Tennant remind men that their natural aggressive instincts are gifts from God that are meant to be used for the kingdom.

Men are supposed to found households, join brotherhoods, and work toward a mission. It's Good to Be a Man offers men a quick guide to where they are and how they can improve. God made men to be strong and aggressive risk-takers. This is a feature, not a bug. Foster and Tennant remind us that it’s good to be a man.

Excellence

I've read a few being a man and father books and this 1 tops them all.

Such a great help in my progress towards being a Man of God.

Several parts of this book rang true to my life. It made me realize how far off track I’ve gotten and helped to remind me how important it is to be a Man. Especially in todays world! I will read it several times more and hope to gain more knowledge out of it!

Grounding

I'm not one to write a review for anything but this book is worth the time I took to write this and tell you that it's amazing. It resonated with me in a spiritual way that hasn't been activated in a long time. He boldly tells the story of modern Christianity and offers guidance to men who want to be the change we need within our families, communities and country. 10/5 stars

So much information

I don’t know how to describe it but this is an amazing book for all men. There is so much information!! I learned so much in reading this book and I will for sure reread it.

Very Helpful

This book was incredibly helpful for laying out categories and staying focused. Would recommend to any man who is a Christian!

The book is blunt but it's also true. Be prepared to hurt a little as you read/listen. If you walk away from this book offended and the only thing you can remember is how they said men can't wear skinny jeans, you are reading it wrong. Open it back up, pray for God to give you ears to hear and soften your hard heart, and hear what they have to say.
