Win at Home First by Cory Carlson: A Review
A former executive on reversing the order so home comes before work. Direct and practical, though it assumes more control over your schedule than many men have.

The Christian Man by Patrick Morley: A Review
Ten issues men themselves named, not ten an author invented. Honest, chapters stand alone, and better than most of a crowded category. Where it runs shallow.

NIV Gospel of John with Devotional Notes: What It’s Actually For
An 83 page pocket booklet built to give away, not to study. Buy the physical multipacks, not the Kindle edition. Why John is the right book for this.

Truly the Community by Marva Dawn: A Review
Marva Dawn's 319 page theological reading of Romans 12, first published as The Hilarity of Community. Deep and demanding. Not a men's book or a group study.
Faith
From Broken Boy to Mended Man by Patrick Morley: A Review
Morley on his own father, the damage he carried for decades, and how to stop passing it down. Honest about forgiveness, and clear that some men need a counselor.
Brotherhood
The Titus Ten by J. Josh Smith: A Review
Ten qualities from Paul's letter to Titus, anchored to the text instead of to motivational filler. Note there's a separate study edition if you're buying for a group.
Finance
Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money: A Review
The Financial Peace University handbook in one volume. The debt and budgeting material is the real strength. Get a second opinion on the investing chapters.
Family
The Fulfilled Family by John MacArthur: A Review
MacArthur's exposition of Ephesians 5 and 6 applied to the home. Solid teaching, and a more detailed complementarian case than CTB itself makes. Read it knowing that.

Play the Man Participant’s Guide: Don’t Buy This One By Itself
Batterson's workbook is the companion to a four session DVD study, not a standalone book. What you need to run it, and whether the study is worth doing.

The Maxwell Daily Reader by John C. Maxwell: A Review
365 daily excerpts pulled from fourteen of Maxwell's leadership books. Good sampler if you're new to him. Redundant if you already own several.
Brotherhood
Community That Is Christian by Julie Gorman: A Review
A seminary level handbook on why small groups fail and what actually builds community. Excellent for group leaders. Wrong book if you just want brotherhood.

Leading with a Humble Heart by Zac Bauermaster: A Review
A 40 day devotional for Christians who lead people at work, written by a school principal. Strong personal stories, light on Scripture teaching. Who it suits.
