Real Man - by Edwin Louis Cole (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Real manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous."
--Edwin Louis Cole

Braving today's masculinity maze, with its confused images that distort real manhood, requires courage and wisdom. Edwin Louis Cole, as a mentor, friend, and spiritual father, declares a model for manhood that is infallible, functional, and yet feasible--the manhood of Christlikeness.

Real Man rips apart unfulfilling stereotypes, smothers the pressure of unrealistic demands, exposes cheap substitutes and social imitations of true manhood--while giving a man the power he needs to obtain the spirit and conviction of being a real man.
Learn how to:

• Maximize your masculinity
• Discover the manhood of Jesus Christ
• Get and stay on top
• Determine your heart's direction
• Achieve fulfilling accomplishments

Clarify your role as a leader, husband, father, friend.Real Man addresses the full range of man's life--marriage, finances, friendships, success, failure, parenting, and spirituality. Jesus Christ overcomes substitute manliness and sets the standard for real manhood to help men be real.

"Ed Cole's training for men is a fiery instrument at a strategic time. Get it to ignite the renewed flame of practical, purposeful, manly living for this day!"
-Pastor Jack Hayford

"Sometimes you meet a man who forever impacts the way you think and, most importantly, the way you live. Dr. Edwin Louis Cole was such a man, and is such a man still, through his writing. Enjoy!"
--Actor Chuck Norris

Review Quotes

In a recent book called The Blessed Church, I wrote about master builders. They build according to a blueprint, with great quality, with love, and they are ready for a fight as they build. Dr. Edwin Louis Cole exhibited all of the traits of the master builder. His ability to distill complex Biblical principles into memorable sentences made him not just a "leader" of men but also a "feeder" of men. The quality of his message and his life was freely imparted to all. The love with which he shared the message was evident. It's the same caring love that he exhibited to a young struggling pastor by giving me his time that morning in Starbucks. And, Ed Cole was a man's man, ready to stand up for what he believed--a Real Man.
-Robert Morris

About the Author

Dr. Edwin Louis Cole (1922-2002), known as "the father of the Christian men's movement," was called by God to speak with a prophetic voice to the men of this generation. To that end, he founded the Christian Men's Network, a ministry that majors in men and communicates the reality that manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous. A former pastor, evangelist, missionary, business executive, and denominational leader, Dr. Cole and his wife, Nancy, served the Lord together for more than fifty years. Over four million copies of his books are in circulation in more than forty languages, including his best-selling Maximized Manhood. Since his recent death, his legacy and his vision are being carried on by his "sons" in the faith as they reach tens of thousands of men each month via books, videos, and other media.
