Becoming the Man God Created You to Be

In a culture that sends mixed messages about masculinity, many young men are left asking a simple but crucial question: What does it actually mean to be a man? In this accessible and thought-provoking guide, J.Garrett Kell helps students discover that true manhood isn’t defined by culture, feelings, or personal ambition—it is defined by God.

Written for teenage and college-aged readers, this booklet offers a clear, biblical vision of masculinity rooted in Scripture and centered on Jesus Christ. With pastoral wisdom and straightforward honesty, Kell addresses the pressures young men face today while pointing them to the strength, humility, and purpose found in following Christ.

Rather than offering shallow advice or cultural clichés, Track: A Student’s Guide to Manhood calls young men to embrace the good design God has given them and to live faithfully within it.

This practical resource will help young men:

• See manhood as God’s good design, not a cultural invention
• Grow in Christlike character, including courage, self-control, and integrity
• Understand their responsibilities as sons, brothers, friends, and future husbands or fathers
• Resist cultural confusion about identity, sexuality, and masculinity
• Pursue a life of purpose that honors God and serves others

Ideal for youth groups, discipleship settings, and personal reading, this guide equips young men to walk the path Christ has laid before them—with conviction, clarity, and hope.
