âFor a book to keep your interest, itâs most important that it captures your heartâs yearning from the beginning. This book is relevant, theological, culturally astute, and challenging for the serious student. It is a resource for pastors and a tool for discipleship for lay leaders. It is a MUST READ.ââSteve Keels, Executive Pastor of Discipleship, Good Shepherd Community Church, Boring, Oregon; author; Truth Quest booksâThis is a really uncomfortable book. I can honestly say that I read something troubling on every page. I am therefore so grateful to God for this great aid to the overriding aim of all of our lives: Christlikenessâread it and repent.ââRico Tice, Cofounder, Christianity Explored; author, Capturing God; Finding More; and The Ultimate Christmas WishlistâIn a male culture marked by spiritual apathy and passivity, this book serves as a clarion call to single-minded discipline, radical purity, and kingdom purpose. Weaving together biblical wisdom and memorable illustrations from history and popular culture, Disciplines of a Godly Young Man provides clear and compelling guidance on every page. I can scarcely think of a book more necessary for the emerging men of the next generation.ââDavid Setran, Price-LeBar Chair of Christian Formation and Ministry, Wheaton College; author, The College âYâ: Student Religion in the Era of SecularizationâDiscipline is not a popular word these days. But disciplined Christians are growing Christians. So if you know a young man who wants to grow up in the faith, do him a big favor and buy him this book.ââCollin Hansen, Vice President for Content and Editor in Chief, The Gospel Coalition; Host, Gospelbound podcastâBe warned. You may struggle with this book at firstânot because it is hard to read, but because Kent Hughes and his son Carey Hughes show from the Bible the high benchmark that God demands of your young life. They lay it out on the table, simply and clearly, chapter by chapter, discipline by discipline, and then they invite you to live the life God requires. Of course, young Australian men will need to read their own heroes into the first chapter; but they will recognize the biblical heroes in chapter 11; and hopefully, they will recognize the love and power of the one Hero: Jesus Christ, when they read the final chapter about grace. Make sure you read this book to the end.ââJustin Moffatt, Senior Minister, Church Hill Anglican, Sydney, AustraliaâThis book is a serious wake-up call for young men who seek to follow Christ. With its straightforward tone and gospel-grounded challenges, this is a perfect introduction to the spiritual disciplines for young men who love Jesus. I look forward to reading and studying this book with our high school guys.ââJon Nielsonďťż, Senior Pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church, Wheaton, Illinois
