What does it mean to live as a Christian man today? Isn't this God stuff for weak men who need the crutch of a faith in God? Nathan Blackaby talks honestly about how men can radically discover the call on their lives to be Christian men today, and allow their faith to transform their world-view, aspirations and relationships. Discover how you can fly in the face of conformity when it comes to church and prayer, authentic friendships, accountability, celebrating wins, and allowing the truth of God to really speak into your life. Using examples of characters from the Bible who went against the grain – and not only lived incredible lives but turned the world upside down in the process – he asks the question… Are you ready to stand up and do the same?

Drawing on his own experiences, and using the biblical example of Paul and Timothy, Nathan lays down an honest and practical look at how men can help each other in discipleship - encouraging, refining and strengthening faith - just as iron sharpens iron.From studying the Bible together and putting it into practice, to reaching out to other men around you with a life-changing message of hope and salvation, find out how you can move forward in your own and in others' journeys of discipleship.Concluding with four key Bible studies to work through with others, this book gets right to the heart of what it means to be a disciple-making man in the twenty-first century.

It’s time for a new kind of man. The Code is a twelve-point honour code for a man to live out his faith in Christ by. Through some serious straight-talking, you will be given the charge to live an uncompromised, Jesus-centred life, bringing change to yourself and the world around you. Keep it in your back pocket, refer to it often and start to become the man you know you ought to be. The Code is the foundation for the Codelife movement of Christian Vision for Men.Written by Carl Beech, Nathan Blackaby and Ian Manifold at CVM(To coincide with the 30th anniversary of Christian Vision for Men (CVM), this is a revised and updated special edition.)

For men, by men, this 60-day devotional is a no-nonsense guide to help you walk with God.
