Healing the Masculine Soul: God's Restoration of Men to Real Manhood

by Gordon Dalbey

Book Overview

In his groundbreaking book fifteen years ago, Gordon Dalbey identified the fact that men's souls have been torn between strength and sensitivity. Today, the situation is even worse. The politically correct crowd cries out for men to be more sensitive, to tame their masculine nature. On the opposing side, the media bombards men with "macho" images of violence and lust. Is it any wonder men are left bewildered about who they should be?

Healing the Masculine Soul: God's Restoration of Men to Real Manhood

A refreshing portrait of the soul of man. This book provides the tool kit for rebuilding our hearts, and restoring our souls. The healing sword of Gods word is used with precision to cut away decades of the American man's sinful fall into passivity.

Revolutionary

This is an absolutely amazing book. It should be required reading for young men and all Godly men. Too often today men are pulled in a million different directions in terms of what makes a "real man". Hollywood's macho version is unrealistic and the call for a "sensitive man" leaves men more like women than anything else. This book helps men understand their own brokenness and the need for healing before we even address areas of sexuality, leadership, and child rearing.A fantastic resource that should be read and studied and handed down from generation to generation.

One of the most effect books I've found

This book is a must read for any man who wishes to be a whole man for his woman. It effectively explains why we men do what we do and how to fix us. The book will help American men restore the American family. In the end it is the one book that has help set the foundation of my masculine identity. Now I can be the man I need to be for my wife. I'm more balanced and sure of my identity than I have ever been.

Everyone should read this book

Actually, only people who are men with "issues", or who know men with "issues"--I guess that is everybody.I am just about finished with the book, and think it is one of the best things to help me "grow up" (I am pretty old already).It has a Christian world view.

Seven stars *******!

Magnificent! After reading it, manliness appears as similar to the sun: joyful, strong, warm, bright, direct, straight-forward, generous, elevated, life-bringing, pure, affirming and defining of itself and of its surrounding. A laser operation at inferiority complexes as well as pride; at aggressivity and weakness; at spite and lily-liveredness; at sex-centredness and genderlessness.Very deep and solid wisdom, superb insighfulness.
