15 Practices to Shape Authentic Manhood
by John Gailer
You know the man when you see him. He carries himself with conviction, serves without keeping score, and doesn't need an audience to do the right thing. Be That Man is a story-driven guide to building the character, conviction, and calling that authentic manhood requires. It includes fifteen practices drawn from Scripture and the lives of men who actually lived them.
You've seen him. Maybe it was your father, a coach, or someone whose life made you lean forward and think, I want to be that man. That longing isn't envy. It's a compass.
That man is not born. He is built through conviction decided before the pressure arrives, through disciplines practiced before they are needed, through a thousand choices nobody sees but everybody eventually feels.
Be That Man pairs fifteen practices drawn from Scripture with the stories of men who embodied them: David and Doug Flutie on identity, Daniel and Desmond Doss on conviction, Paul and Eric Liddell on purpose, Bonhoeffer and the three men who stood in the fire on the cost of courage, and more. Each chapter tells the story, builds the biblical foundation, and hands the question back to you, not as inspiration to admire, but as a standard to pursue.
This is not a leadership book. It's a manhood book. Rooted in Luke 2:52, it takes seriously the same four-dimensional growth that marked Jesus himself: wisdom, physical maturity, relationship with God, and relationship with others.
Be That Man is for young men ready to take their next step, for fathers walking alongside their sons, and for mentors investing in the next generation.
Fifteen practices. One direction. A life well built.

Biblical Principles for Lasting Impact
Every leader faces the same fundamental challenges — defining what they stand for, casting vision others will follow, developing people, managing resources, and leaving something behind that matters. 10 Steps toward Leadership Growth draws on ten biblical leaders to address each one, with principles that work on Monday morning and significance that extends far beyond it.
