The Manual gives men a pocket-sized, bite-sized daily devotional with a man-sized impact on your day. This slip-it-in-your-jacket size book gives you 60 directly practical Bible devotionals in no more than 5 minutes each. Written by men for men, each devotional includes the text of a few Bible verses, a short and sharp exploration and an intensely personal prayer to get you set for whatever the day brings. It’s the only book you need to carry for a quick, quiet time with God anywhere and everywhere.
Written by Carl Beech – a real man’s man and a few of his equally manly friends, The Manual deals with things that matter to men in words that we need to hear and in a language we understand. This is definitely not a devotional to share with your wife or girlfriend; it’s for you and your day. Recommended by Bear Grylls, and with contributions from bush pilot Bryan J Pill, subjects covered in this first in the series include tough words on the pursuit of success and toxic relationships as well as helpful guidance and reassurance on workplace isolation, risk taking and just surviving the day.
All 60 devotionals of less than 300 words each are undated; so if you miss one you’re not thrown out of sync with the series. This makes The Manual ideal for using only on weekdays, just when you’re out and about or need a pocket devotional for those trying times, those few available moments in a hectic day or that trip takes you away from home. This is book one in a series of four pocket size devotionals that you’ll be glad you had with you in you jacket, briefcase, rucksack or glove box.

Seeing the gap in the market we are producing this devotional for men - written by men.

This 60-day devotional has Bible readings set out with notes and prayers, leading men of all ages into a deeper faith and closer walk with God. "The Manual Book 1 - Power, Pleasure, Poker and Pork Pies" has contributions from Andy Frost (director of Share Jesus International)and Bryan Pill (of the Mission Aviation Fellowship) and covers, among other topics: what real power is - and whose it is, tough teachings, temptation, staying focused, kingdom living, rebuilding, that we are known, and attitude beatitudes.

From the back cover: The Manual 1
‘Powerful, personal and relevant – it has helped me a lot to live my faith day by day – Bear Grylls.
‘For men by men, these 60 days of notes are a no-nonsense guide to a man’s walk with God. Carl Beech tackles the tough questions that confront Christian men as they live in the age of pleasure… and pork pies.’
‘Written by Carl Beech, head of Christian Vision for Men (CVM). His goal was to join the armed forces when, at age 18, God called him to fight another kind of battle - the one for the hearts and minds of men.’
