Synopsis

Males look to be served. Men look to be of service. Emmy Award–nominated actor best known for his role on Queen Sugar and transformational speaker Dondré Whitfield challenges us to be real men in this provocative look at the power found in serving others.Too many males abuse the power they have.Often those males grow up without healthy role models and so, while they look like men, they act like boys. Only now there are adult consequences to their actions.And many of us are caught in the shifting cultural ideas about manhood, unsure of how to make sound decisions or truly be a man. Every day we find evidence that the role of men at home, at work, and out in the world is deeply misinterpreted.In Male vs. Man, Dondré Whitfield equips us to become men rather than simply "grown males." Men are healthy and productive servant-leaders who bring positive change to their communities. Males are self-serving and stuck in negative cycles that we hear and read about daily. They create chaos instead of cultivating calm.Male vs. Man is an uplifting playbook for men who want to level up. It will help men and women alike understand what real manhood is, based on biblical wisdom as well as hard-earned lessons from someone who has been there. With practical guidance and a strong spiritual foundation, Dondré shows how to cultivate the life-changing spiritual, emotional, and psychological attributes of servant leadership at home, at work, and in our communities.

When I heard about Dondre T. Whitfield’s Male Vs. Man last year I was counting down the days until the book’s release.

Goodreads review by Adrienna on January 13, 2021

The book carries so much weight, to teach our young men and older ones how to be such, not just a male. Men do not start fires (Firestarter) and to put out fires (firefighter). "The job as a man is to deny the flesh in order to allow the Spirit to guide my steps (page 28, eBook)." He quotes from May......more

I appreciate this book and the message. It is clear that Dondré is a wise man. It was very spiritual and contained LOTS of scripture. Additionally, there were many action steps and lots of examples. It made me think deeply about my interaction with men but also about my connection to the creator. I’......more

Goodreads review by Anita on July 02, 2021

I returned the book to the library before I wrote the exact quote, but to paraphrase "a male wants to be serviced and a man wants to be of service to others" This sums up the entire book for me. I recommend highly!!!......more
