Chapters include: I've got a dirty mind I'm a self-made man I want more stuff I need my dad I love booze I don't like to feel I'm so ticked off I want to give up In addition to the transparent stories and insight from Davis, Matlby concludes each chapter with reflections for those who care-practical insight for individuals walking beside a man struggling with these issues.

“Tom Davis knows that no Christian guy can be truly good unless he’s honest enough to confess—or come clean—that he’s not always so good. A refreshing and honest guide for men seeking true friends and personal integrity.”
“Kudos to Tom Davis and Tammy Maltby for honestly addressing the struggles that Christian men face in the 21st century. Confessions of a Good Christian Guy serves as a powerful reminder that our gracious Heavenly Father routinely works in spite of our brokenness, imperfection, and sin to transform us into the likeness of Christ. This is essential reading for any man ready to take an honest look at himself and willing to allow God to change him from the inside out.”
“Brace yourself! Confessions of a Good Christian Guy is not just another ‘I-used-to-have-problems-but-now-I’m-fixed’ feel-good fantasy. No, this is solid intelligence. Davis and Maltby take us on a tour of the front lines that run through every church, every family, and the life of every man. His assessment is honest and wise. You will find hope in these pages, and the comfort that comes from knowing that you are not alone.”
“Tom Davis sets the tone when he declares at the end of Chapter One, ‘I choose not to lie anymore.’ Raw—from telling the truth of his own life. Real—from the foundation of telling the truth from Biblical Biblical stories of men struggling. Redemptive—from telling the truth about grace that we, as men, long to not just simply know about but daily live. And a critical fourth “R”: Relationship. You cannot become the man you need and want to be all by yourself. This book will remind you, again and again, where change needs to take place in your life, and offers you the first steps to getting there.”
“FINALLY! A book that hits the essential issues facing men today and also gives practical insights on how to experience true life-change. Tom Davis has done a courageous and masterful job—this is a must read for all men.”
“Transparency is so needed in the heart of the church, and Tom rings out a clear call for us to stop pretending that everything’s okay, because it’s not! As a worship leader and songwriter, I’m amazed at the pull towards being ‘fake’ when we show up to church—when church is the one place where we should be totally free to confess our humanity and support each other. That’s why I wrote the words ‘just as you are’ in ‘Come now is the time to worship’. Tom—through his own shortcomings and clear biblical teaching—encourages us to stop pretending and be set free!”
