A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
by Fred G. Zaspel
For some years now the very idea of manhood has become increasingly held under suspicion. Worse yet, masculinity itself has been vilified as toxic and harmful to society.
Several Christian authors have written to respond, providing a biblically-informed way of thinking about manhood and masculinity in our cultural context. Below are some books we’ve chosen to highlight – helpful titles for personal reading, for small group and Sunday School use, and for general distribution.
