Disciplines of a Godly Man Description
"Discipline is a subject about which the Scriptures say much-but
contemporary authors have been peculiarly silent. Kent Hughes fills
a gaping void with this superb volume.… If there is a spark
of spiritual desire in your soul, this book will surely kindle it
into a blazing passion for godly discipline."
-John MacArthur, pastor and best-selling
author
"This is a book for men who are eager to learn how to be more
effective. It comes from the pen of one who has learned to serve as
he has led and who is able to provide the reader with many
practical applications of eternal truth."
-C. William Pollard, Chairman and CEO, The
ServiceMaster Company
"To open this book and find someone taking seriously the
biblical call of'agonizing to enter the kingdom' and… boxing
and sweating like a champion to get victory over sin is the most
refreshing thing I could have set my eyes on."
-John Piper, pastor and popular author
"An outstanding volume for men and women alike!… Over 250
pages devoted to the practical outworking of discipline on subjects
like purity, marriage, prayer, the tongue, the mind, our work,
leadership, ministry, and many, many more. I guarantee: Digest this
book and you will bid the blahs farewell."
-Charles Swindoll, pastor and best-selling
author
"I enjoyed reading Disciplines of a Godly Man because it
challenged my spirit. I highly recommend it to men who are not
thin-skinned."
-Mike Singletary, Hall of Fame linebacker for the
Chicago Bears
"An inspiring and practical guide for men who seek to reflect
God's glory in their lives. This book is a challenging text for
personal devotions as well as for assisting young followers of
Christ to grow in their walk with God."
-Lieutenant General Howard D. Graves (U.S. Army,
Retired), Former Superintendent, United States Military Academy

One of the frustrations in my life is that I have been a christian for 1/2 of my 43 years and you would think that I would be farther along on my journey to become a disciple. Mr. Hughes, the author of this book, shares his thoughts on becoming a man of God, and some areas that we need to focus in on. In chapters like, "The Discipline of Marriage", he points out ways that men stumble and encourages us to avoid the pitfalls that have tripped so many up. This book takes a hard line on sin, but doesn't preach. It encourages us to be strong and courageous and gives practical steps for keeping the victory over sin. It is an excellent book to use in a men's discussion group. You can read a chapter each week, read the scriptures which are referenced and discuss the end of chapter questions. I recommend this to every man, 15 and up.

Forget Wild at Heart! Buy this book instead. It calls for radical discipline as the means of pursuing godliness in every area of life. With a good blend of biblical teaching, true-life stories, and practical advice, Hughes leads men to embrace the spiritual sweat necessary in following Christ. I like this book so much that I'm currently leading the men in our church through this study. It's one of (if not the) best books for men on the Christian market today.
