Devotions for the Fall from Thomas Nelson: A Review
A 40-day seasonal devotional with recipes and fall tradition ideas. A pleasant gift book, and not the men's discipleship resource this page once claimed.

Man of Dialogue by Gregory K. Hillis: A Review
An award-winning biography arguing that Thomas Merton's Catholicism was the root of his thought, not a detail. A serious academic book, not a devotional.
The Spiritual Life of a Leader by Boyd Bailey: A Review
Boyd Bailey on carrying Christian character into managing people at work. Strong on motive and temptation, thinner on management mechanics.
Effective Men’s Ministry edited by Phil Downer: A Review
A 2001 Zondervan toolkit for building a men's ministry in a local church. Written for the person running it, not for a man looking to grow.
Hard to Believe by John MacArthur: A Review
MacArthur's 2003 case that the church made the gospel cheap. A bracing book, and one that puts you inside the Lordship salvation debate rather than above it.
The Game Plan by Joe Dallas: A Review
Joe Dallas's 30-day ROUTE program for sexual integrity, from Thomas Nelson in 2005. The interior work still holds up. The technology advice does not.
The Strong Men We Need by John M. O’Malley: A Review
A 31-day devotional for fathers, with bonus pastoral letters to dads of sons and dads of daughters. Self-published, and it defines biblical masculinity explicitly.
Being God’s Man by Walking a New Path by Arterburn, Luck and Wendorff: A Review
An eight-week Every Man series workbook for small groups, reviewed honestly. Three authors, not one, and it shows its early-2000s age.
A Spiritual Formation Journal by Jana Rea and Richard J. Foster: A Review
A Renovare guided journal built on five streams of Christian practice. Reviewed honestly, and this listing is the Kindle edition of a write-in journal.
Call to Action by Alun Ebenezer: A 30-Day Push Against Passivity
Alun Ebenezer's Call to Action gives young men thirty short chapters, each with an action to take. What it does well, and who it actually suits.
The One Year Devotions for Men on the Go by Stephen Arterburn and Bill Farrel: A Review
A year of short daily readings for busy men, reviewed honestly. Its real strength is consistency, and it is now over twenty years old.
Stories for a Man’s Heart by Al and Alice Gray: A Review
An anthology of short encouraging stories for men, reviewed honestly. It is a repackaged edition, and it has no discussion questions.
