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. - Patrick Morley, PhD.
