Man Alive

**You Don't Have to Settle**  
  
"Over the last four decades, I've met one-on-one with thousands of men. Most of them know that Jesus promised "a rich and satisfying life" (John 10:10), but too many are confused about what that looks like. In fact, I'd estimate that 90 percent of Christian men lead lukewarm, stagnant, defeated lives - and they hate it. When men try to put into words what's holding them back, they invariably describe one or more of these seven symptoms:  
  
- "I just feel like I'm in this thing alone."  
- "I don't feel like God cares about me personally - not really."  
- "I don't feel like my life has a purpose. In fact, it seems random."  
- "I have destructive behaviors that keep dragging me down."  
- "My soul feels dry."  
- "My most important relationships are not working."  
- "I don't feel like I'm doing anything that will make a lasting difference."  
  
"Do you see yourself in these statements? In my experience, these inner aches and pains correspond to seven primal God-given needs that all men feel deeply. And in *Man Alive*, I'll show you something surprising - God's plan to harness that raw, restless energy you feel, pull you out of mediocrity, and propel you toward the life you were meant to live. I promise you...there *is* a way. No man should have to settle for half alive. You can become the man God created you to be. You can experience a powerful life transformed by Christ. In the book you're holding, I'll show you how."

"Most men want to leave a positive moral and spiritual legacy. Yet we know that in order to do that, we must be living out our moral and spiritual beliefs in the present. *Man Alive shows how to make this desire a reality. I highly recommend this book to men of all ages."  
- Gary Chapman, author, *The Five Love Languages  
  
"Something is missing from the average Christian man's life, but what is it? *Man Alive* gives men permission to dig down and discover the fire within."  
- Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor of LifeChurch.tv; author of *Dare to Drop the Pose, Chazown*, and *Weird*  
  
"A great many men I've met want so much to experience the rich and abundant life Jesus promised but don't. As a result, they feel dissatisfied, caught in conflicting emotions. Are you one? In *Man Alive*, Pat Morley--who has probably had more deeply personal conversations with men than anyone I know--goes straight to the heart of your dissatisfaction. He delivers a world of wisdom that will lead you to strength, confidence and clarity."
