Synopsis

Play the man. Make the man.

Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God made them men. It's into this "no-man's-land" that New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: Play the man.

In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first heard the voice from heaven say, "Play the man." Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men who will put God first, family second, and career third.

This is more than an audio book; it's a movement of men who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling to be the man and the father God has destined them to be.

Goodreads review by Josh on December 15, 2018

This is a strange book. It contains premises and Gospel teachings I can get behind, but...well. 1) The writing is not good. It’s overly simplistic, and the author uses way too many question marks and sure does love exclamation points! He says “Why? Because...” more times than I can count. It’s a car......more

Goodreads review by Will on April 29, 2017

In a world where manhood is challenged and a society that diminishes the role of the father, this book is a welcomed treasure to remind the man that they were created to be. At the end of this review, there are pictures for you to use with quotes throughout the book along with the links to buying th......more

Batterson has a unique ability to pump up and inspire his readers. I’ve read a few books by him already and his books definitely leave you hoping that you can hold on to the wisdom and practical advice that he offers. The first half of this book pushed me and challenged me. In this portion, Mark exp......more
