Any one who pays the slightest attention to our culture can see that there is a crisis in manhood. Eric Metaxas addresses this crises in his book, 7 Men and the Secret of Their Success. It is not a book that is full of instructions; once you get past the introduction there is little in the way of how to, rather the book is full of example--as Metaxas calls them, "Living pictures," which he says are worth a thousand words. Young men, and even those of us well past youth, are in need of heroes, role-models, and people we can look up to. It is a relationship that is seen throughout scripture: Moses and Joshua, Elijah and Elisha, Paul and Timothy, and, more than any other example, Jesus and His Apostles.
A few of us are working through Metaxas's book. To quote a Marine motto, we could use a "few good men." Whether you are a part of our little group or not, step up, man, be someone worth following.
It's Something to Think About.
