Offers teenage boys a framework for navigating life as a Christian, and not only suggests where healthy boundaries might lie, but invites them to see faith in Christ as the most exciting, purpose-finding and potential-releasing adventure imaginable.'Accessible, practical, honest, insightful, funny and vulnerable.' Mike Pilavachi 'A gift to the church.' Christianity Magazine The Man You're Made to Be by author Martin Saunders starts by asking, What makes a man? The answer used to be easy. You chopped wood, you wrestled bears, and never showed an ounce of emotion. Today, thankfully, we’ve started leaving some of those ill-fitting gender stereotypes behind. But what replaces them? How do you make sense of masculinity in a world of mixed messages? If you’re a young man growing up in this world, The Man You’re Meant To Be is your invite on an adventure to explore the issues that confront us as guys - from conducting relationships, setting healthy boundaries and processing emotions, to handling money and behaving online - and to discover a better way of living through faith in Christ. If you’re a youth worker or parent nurturing a young man, then this book is also a must read for you. Drawing on personal stories – mainly about the sorts of mistakes you don’t have to make – and looking at Jesus as a role model who provides a much better blueprint for growing up well as a man, Martin Saunders provides an entertaining, easy-to-read way to ask the biggest questions: who am I, and why on earth am I here?
