The world needs real men, real bad.  But here's the problem: While we know what men are not supposed to be, it's not clear to us what masculinity looks like when men are at their absolute best. Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are designed to be: keepers of the garden. Combining depth and humor, he calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including avid indoorsmen like himself) to make key decisions to set them apart, including ? protect the vulnerable ? be ambitious about the right things ? choose today who you will become tomorrow ? take responsibility for your own spiritual life The Men We Need is witty, challenging, bracingly honest, and perfect for any man who wants to know "Why am I here?"--and is ready to show up. Perfect for small groups as well as personal study. Also makes a great Christmas gift, holiday gift, Father's Day gift, or birthday gift for men!
