Manhood Restored: How the Gospel Can Help Men Achieve Wholeness

Walter Brady: I was challenged by Dr.Mason. His conservational writing style helped me to see what God intends for men to be Godly.

Jordan Rich Jr.: The righteous people who thrive in the Christian church must read about this subject. If you are growing in Christ, read this book. The scholastic approach and practical urging in this book could be a catalyst for ministry. Even if you are not in agreement with Eric Mason's methods and conclusions, some might use this as reference material. Thoughtfully insightful and informative read.

DantheMan: Manhood has a problem in our world. It has a problem in our churches. Everywhere we look fatherlessness, sexual infidelity, apathy, selfishness run rampant among men. And things are not getting better either. Eric Mason's book seeks to provide an answer to this problem: the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mason begins by describing man's original purpose and function. "Man was made to function like a mirror--something to reflect the image of God into creation. Humanity, made in the image of God, was created to be an earthy representation of who God is." Man was originally was made to represent the glory of the Father. Something went wrong though. The mirror was shattered and we were left picking up the pieces ever since.

But we were not left there. Mason describes Jesus, the Savior of the world, as the "quintessential man" who conquered death and "has restored all things." He is not only the example of how men should live, but gives us the ability to follow in that example. Though mankind has not yet arrived, men must continue to chase His example with the expectation that one day we will be made like Him.

One thing I thought that Mason hit on very well was the idea...

Neil Richardson: Loved this but read it far to quickly. I can't remember the last time I wanted to start a book all over again, straight away. A gift of a book for the men and women of the Church.

Jeanie S: Don't let the title fool you into thinking that this study is just for men. So many of us, men and women included have no ideal what biblical manhood looks like. We start in the humanity of Christ coming as a man not because it is a diss towards women but to compliment women. This is a powerful truthful study. Truthful in that it deals with issues that don't make exceptions but to take ownership of who God called us to be in our gender roles. Each chapter deals with issues that make or break of who men are called to be. Starting with the life and death of manhood to the last chapter of the restored church.

Understanding our roles and applying them is God glorifying, anything less is stealing glory from God and when we steal glory from God, we are in the end destorying ourselves. God in his word has given us many examples as is discussed with great insight. With current issues, as marriage, fatherhood, leadership in the church and in the community, when we apply the Gospel 24/7, restoration is the goal and the ulimate outcome. Manhood Restored addresses the motivation of the heart and the passion that drives men.

God created us for something greater- to show his...

Shaun Turner: Don't buy into all the pushback from the religious and secular left against the men's movement, this book is a great reminder of the biblical place of men in the church and their families. Highly recommend it.

Matt Boyd: I have long been under the impression that there is a lack of men in the church as much of manhood has been taken out of the church and replaced. Just take a look around at your church this weekend and I can almost guarantee that there will be a higher percentage of women than men. A church full of women is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is if you want to reach men and allow them to be restored to what God has called them to in Himself through the Gospel.

This issue is exactly what Pastor Eric Mason addresses in his book Manhood Restored: How The Gospel Makes Men Whole. Mason is clear from the introduction where he is headed with this book. He is spot on with this statement: "Men can have covenants, documents, strategies, and pragmatic principles, but without the gospel there is no authentic empowerment to execute what is laid out in them."

Many times men, including myself, are reluctant to read a book on being a man because usually the author attempts to motivate men with the guilt of their failures; but Mason does not do that. Rather his goal in the book is to facilitate an encounter with the ultimate God-man. Mason really presents a theology of manhood...
