Many, if not most, of our cultural problems--divorce, abortion, juvenile crime, fatherlessness--can be traced back to the failure of a man. Ironically, it's a man who got up in the morning hoping to succeed.

When you help men develop their roots, you'll find more and more men move beyond being involved in your ministry for what they can get. You'll have men who want to help other men experience what God has done for them.

There are no Five Easy Steps to an Effective Men's Ministry. There aren't even five hard steps. It just doesn't work that way. We explain why and how to disciple men, but we don't specify exactly what you should do. Instead, we will help you plan your own concrete next steps according to the culture and needs of your church.

This is our life's work. Helping church leaders disciple men is what we do. We have the privilege of waking up every day focused on how to disciple men in the church--your church. We will be honored if God uses this book to make your efforts more effective and your path a little easier.
