Synopsis

Revised and Expanded Edition of a Life-Changing Book Recovering nice guy Paul Coughlin points the way for all men who yearn to live a life of boldness and conviction--like Jesus. Using anecdotes from his own life, powerful and poignant stories, and vivid examples from our culture, Coughlin shows how men can say no to the "nice guy" syndrome and yes to a life of purpose, passion, and vitality. In this revised and expanded edition, Coughlin adds vital insights on the changes he's seen in churches and the greater culture in the decade since No More Christian Nice Guy was first published. This radical and hopeful message elevates the true biblical model of manhood and now includes testimonials from men and women whose lives have been altered by this book. Coughlin also looks at the shifting expectations men face in relationships and in the workplace, and how younger Christians, in particular, are subject to harmful views about masculinity. Part inspiration, part instruction, and part manifesto, this book gives men the courage to move from passivity to assertiveness.

Goodreads review by Andy on April 29, 2013

Once you've read "Wild at Heart," reread it, then you are ready for this book. Seriously, this sits on my shelf right between the complete works of John Eldredge and "Why Men Hate Going to Church." If you love God but can't stand His followers you owe it to yourself to read those three books.......more

Goodreads review by John on February 22, 2010

The men in my small group recently went through this book together. Coughlin distinguishes between “nice guys” and “good guys”, contending that Jesus was the latter, and so we Christian men ought to be as well. This entails living lives that are bold and adventurous rather than passive and uninspiri......more

Goodreads review by Thordur on May 01, 2023

I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot. What it tells you is that a nice guy is somebody who lives in his comfort zone and avoids conflict at all costs. Jesus wasn't like that. He went out of his comfort zone constantly and never avoided any conflicts. So there is some misunderstanding here ab......more

Goodreads review by Melissa (Semi-hiatus for Work) on May 22, 2019

Warning — No More Christian Nice Guy will go against everything you thought you knew about Jesus, and will challenge your way of thinking and acting. This is an intensely thought-provoking and meaningful book written for men who are tired of being the nice guy and getting walked all over for being t......more
