Four Steps To Mature Manhood: A New Perspective On Paul'S Letter To The Ephesians

Paul offers us a tantalizing goal for the ministry of the church in Ephesians 4:13: Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. (NASB) Yes, the Greek says "mature man." Of course God wants women to reach maturity as well, but what Paul lays out in the final three chapters are four clear steps men can take to reach that maturity. The sad truth is that few of us have attained it. The author writes from 40 years of ministry experience; 21 of those as a chaplain in the Federal Prison System. Currently he lives in Costa Rica, where he has an international ministry as a spiritual father and on his web site, ASpiritualFather.com. From that wealth of experience with thousands of men he writes as a pastor and father. This book is not a commentary, but a comprehensive study of the church in Ephesus, with the same practical purpose Paul had when he wrote this beloved church. Starting with the history of the church in the Book of Acts, it finishes with a dire warning from Revelation to a church which had lost its first love. In the first three chapter of Ephesians you will clearly see Christ's amazing work on our behalf and God's plan for all eternity. For the first time, this book develops the four clear steps Paul lays out in the final chapter to reach mature manhood. Unlike most books for men, this book is solidly based on the Word of God. You will find real, solid, godly help in becoming the man God wants you to be.
