No More Christian Nice Guy
Yesterday I received a copy of No More Christian Nice Guy and all I can say is “Go and Get this book!”
This is one of the best books I’ve read in recent days and I can’t recommend it enough.
The premise of the book is that men in the church are “too nice” and also “not like Jesus” because of this niceness. Translated into therapeutic terms, Christian men are often passive aggressive and wimpy.
Okay the wimpy part wasn’t a therapeutic term. But it does describe most of the men I see.
The author discusses the tough and rough side of Jesus and how men have been tricked into believing that they should always be “nice” and gentle, and loving bla bla bla.
It’s a great book and a great wake up call for the times in which we live. And it’s time men began to stand up and be men.
Men need to be involved in public policy fights. They need to be fathers to their children. They need to be manly men to their wives. They need to have a spine and conviction. They need to be able to be more like Jesus, and now is the time.
[...] The other blogger was Stacy Harp from Orange, California who blogs at Persecution Blog and Blog for Books. Compared to La Shawn’s sense of either exhaustion or boredom, Stacy was upbeat, talkative, and affable. She helped with the presidential campaign of Alan Keyes, who she cited as a personal hero and asked us if we thought terrorists were responsible for the recent power outage in Los Angeles.
