Authentic Masculinity: Leaving Behind the Counterfeits for God's Design

Chivalry is not dead. Or is it? Or should it be?

Do you know what it means to be a man? Our culture is confused. Sometimes the differences between men and women are overemphasized. At other times, we hear that the differences between men and women are merely social constructs. Bewildered or discouraged, you might be asking, What should I aspire to as a man? Or, even better, What does it mean to be a Christlike man?

Authentic Masculinity answers our questions and gives us a biblical vision of manhood. Writing on the virtues and roles men are called to, pastor Seth Troutt divides this book into two parts:

Part I The Masculine Virtues: Humility, Discipline, Responsibility, and Chivalry

Part II The Masculine Roles: Son, Brother, Maker (cultivating skill for the common good), Husband, and Father (spiritual and biological)

If we learn to rightly order our virtues and properly embrace our roles, we'll walk confidently in our masculinity. In this refreshing resource, men discover the goodness of God's design and how to walk in it. Troutt shows men how to work hard, live with sexual integrity, use their strength to bless, become disciplined, manage their money, faithfully steward their relationships, grow in humility, and raise up the next generation of Jesus followers.

Authentic Masculinity is the go-to resource for men who are ready to understand and embrace their God-given masculine calling. Clearing the confusion surrounding the topic of masculinity, this is also an excellent resource for fathers and pastors who are raising young Christian men.

Authentic Masculinity shares the biblical responsibility and freedom of being a man.Read less
