Wisdom for Manhood Centered on the Person of Christ

What makes a man? Our culture praises financial wealth, personal charisma, or physical and emotional toughness. But Christ looks for one supreme attribute alone—conformity to himself. The Making of a Man explores 12 aspects of godly manhood demonstrated by the perfect man, Jesus Christ.

Through pastoral wisdom and stories of personal struggle, Garrett Kell offers men an honest, warm guide for becoming who God created them to be. Chapter by chapter, Kell reveals how following Jesus transforms every aspect of a man’s life, including work, friendships, money, suffering, and family. As readers “press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14), they will discover the abundant grace the Lord offers to those who pursue him and seek to follow his ways.
