Synopsis

The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a "real man" is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that's not really the point of being a man and it's not the purpose for which men were made.

Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: "Keepers of the Garden." Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including "avid indoorsmen" like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have.

Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant's signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to listen.

Goodreads review by Barry

The Men We Need is a call to all men to wake up and actually DO SOMETHING. Being passive is a choice. Not taking ownership and responsibility for your family is a choice. The simple truth is that all of our choices have consequences, and the series of choices we make shape who we are, how those arou......more

Goodreads review by John

Could really get on board with most of his stuff. A refreshing read especially for the Christian manhood genre. Only thing I would quibble with is he claims to be writing a book that isn’t “theology” and at the same time isn’t “social commentary” because “the world doesn’t need more of either.” But......more

Goodreads review by Timothy

I think books which are good, but are missing something significant are the hardest to write a review for, but also the ones where a review is the most helpful. Helpful for myself, because it forces me to think through everything deeply, and hopefully helpful for others as well who read it. The auth......more
