The War on Men

Why Society Hates Them and Why We Need Them

By: Owen Strachan

Narrated by: Axel Bosley

Men—and masculinity in general—are under attack. For society to succeed, we need strong men to lead us in all areas of life.

The war on men is a war on civilization.

Strong men are not “toxic.” If they go away, evil men take their place, and weak men offer no resistance.

The idea that masculine men—assertive, risk-taking, single-minded—are a problem to be solved threatens our whole society. The cultural elites cheering the decline of men are trying to erase God’s design for half of the human race—the half that historically provides, protects, and leads for the good of others. The disappearance of the masculine ideal is bad news for men, and it’s terrible news for women.

What will happen without men of courage and conviction? Who will do the hard jobs that no one else can do? Who will be left to face down evil, strengthen families, build churches, and bolster communities? Owen Strachan addresses those questions in this compelling new book, an inspiring blend of cultural analysis, biblical teaching, and passionate exhortation. Cutting through the ideological fog, he explains what’s at stake. If men are told they’re not needed, they disappear, becoming lost men. They get frustrated and lash out, becoming angry men. They go alpha and chase their lusts, becoming exaggerated men. Or they lose their masculinity and embrace effeminacy, becoming soft men.

And yet there is hope, rooted in the wisdom and grace of God. In His kindness, He transforms lost, angry, exaggerated, and soft men into a force for good in this world.

Male or female, if you want to understand manhood better, if you are tired of feminized men, this book is for you. It’s for struggling sons, disillusioned friends, discouraged coworkers, confused college students, disheartened grandfathers, concerned mothers, and everyone in between.

Soft men make for hard times, but hard times produce strong men.

Raising Men in an age of confusion and chaos

As a father, and a man in my 30's, this book was incredibly insightful and helpful in my own journey as a man and that with my son.

A must read for all people today!

This book was full of Biblical wisdom on manhood and practical ways that men can strive to be men of God. I would recommend it to women to understand the men in their lives better. We need to stop trying to feminize men!

Outstanding Book!

This is a must read for men, women, and teens! Strachan not only does a phenomenal job of diagnosing the problem, but also clearly articulates the biblical solution. I highly recommend this book.

Very insightful and encouraging book!

If you want to know what God’s design is for men, read this book! It is sobering, convicting, and hope-filled!

Great!

Need my son to read this. Great critique on manhood in our current culture and then biblical analysis of what a man ought to be like.

It resonated with my heart and challenged me to level up and be a Christ-like man.

This book is in line with my belief system, so I enjoyed the whole book!

the war is real

If you win the men, you win the war. This book provides a biblical blue print for manhood and masculinity. Men need to be built up so they can bless women and children; society wants figuratively and literally castrate men in order to destroy future generations without resistance.

a good book for men concerning biblical masculinity.

other than the author's obsession with mentioning men's haircuts needing to be short, this was an excellent book. many people that are writing about the topic of masculinity in the 21st century and the late 20th century are saying the same things. however few seem to be talking about it from a Christian perspective instead of a sociological perspective. this book includes sociological aspects for sure but the Christian perspective and the traditional masculine perspective is a welcome listen.

the Tite speaks for its self!

Captivating, the Owen explains the different types of men. How the system try's to take masculine men out of society, very powerful words!
