A boy doesn't automatically become a man at age 18. What differentiates a man from a boy is the way he lives. A boy lives day to day, wants to be MVP, plays, wants the reassurance of the crowd, and is a predator. A man has a vision for his life, is a team player, works, has the courage to take a minority position, and is a protector. These are the five marks of a man. It's not enough to just know them. A real man aggressively pursues them on a daily basis. Drawing from his own experience and the lives of others, pastor Brian Tome calls on men to examine themselves and take steps in the direction of a fully realized manhood that honors God, respects women, elevates others, and works purposefully for an end greater than their own satisfaction or pleasure. It's time for men to step into their honorable place in the world and lean into a new reality--one defined by strength, purpose, and honor.

There are 45-year-old boys and 15-year-old men. What separates them isn't age, job status, or achievement. It's something deeper and more ancient. The life of every man that matters has been defined by the five marks of a man. This tactical guide is designed to call out, develop, and grow these marks in your own life. This isn't a book--it's a tool. It's not something you read; it's something you use to build a life that works. Each section focuses on one of the five marks, offering challenges, projects, and plans to put them into action. You're going to get your hands dirty. You're going to be in uncomfortable situations. You're going to be pushed. And you're going to grow because of it. This isn't your grandma's fill-in-the-blank Bible study because you aren't a grandma. No one accidentally falls into a life of meaning--a life of meaning is built, intentional choice by intentional choice. Men rise to meet challenges. Now is your time. The question is: will you?

"This is the first commentary on the Gospel of Mark to systematically apply a multidisciplinary approach, called 'socio-literary method.' Myers integrates literary criticism, socio-historical exegesis, and political hermeneutics in his investigation of Mark—the oldest story of Jesus—as 'manifesto of radical discipleship'." --

What really separates a man from a boy? Is manhood just marked by age, or is there something else that really turns a male into a man?Brian Tome believes there are five marks that every authentic man in history has displayed, and pursuing them can be life-altering. It's a simple, ancient code that all fathers, sons, and husbands need to know, but is rarely taught. While the world is full of fluffy and confusing ideas about how men should behave, Tome uses his practical experience in leading men to expose the clear, simple truths about what makes men most effective.Just knowing these five marks, however, is not enough. True transformation comes from aggressively pursuing them in your everyday life.In Five Marks Of A Man, Tome shows you:- Why it's critical to have a vision for your life, and how to make hard choices.- Why you need to be a protector of people around you.- How to find a team that will support your goals.- How to establish a ritual to lead your own son into manhood.- And much more.As Tome writes, "I have come to believe that the transition to manhood is not marked by age, it's about something much more substantial. It's about your mindset and your actions. It's about assuming responsibility for your place in the world and stepping into a new reality-one defined by strength, purpose, and a code of honor."Through Five Marks Of A Man you will discover a code that great men have followed for centuries. Now, it's your turn to man up.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "If you aim at nothing you are certain to hit it?" By all indications, this is a problem for the church today. In doing the math, things are not adding up. The church might be called by God to make disciples who make disciples, yet this does not appear to be our result. In the Five Marks of a Disciple, Dr. Rodgers takes an honest look at why the modern church appears to be missing the mark and then retraces the full commission of Jesus in Matthew 28:16-20 to shed some insight on exactly what Jesus had in mind when He called His disciples to reproduce themselves by making disciples of all nations. Dr. Joey Rodgers serves as the Senior Pastor at First Baptist Church in Peachtree City, Georgia. He is a graduate of Carson-Newman University and later earned his Masters and Doctorate degrees at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Joey and His wife, Meg, reside in Tyrone, Georgia with their four children.Throughout his ministry life, Joey has been privileged to serve in churches and ministry organizations in Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Virginia, Texas, New Mexico, Montana, Norway, and Germany. He is passionate about personal disciple making, global missions, and investing Jesus into the lives of others.

If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all? J. I. Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false.
