Publisher's Description

What differentiates a boy from a man? A real man lives intentionally according to a powerful ancient code--the five marks of a man. A man . . .● has a vision for his life● is a team player● works● has the courage to take a minority position● is a protectorThis is the primal code that every great man in history has aggressively pursued. Drawing from his own experience and the lives of others, pastor Brian Tome calls on men to examine themselves and take steps in the direction of the adventure of a fully realized manhood that honors God, respects women, elevates others, and works purposefully for an end greater than their own satisfaction or pleasure. It's time for men to step into their honorable place in the world and lean into a new reality--one defined by strength, purpose, and honor.

“For a generation that has not had great role models of what godly men look like, Brian’s clarion call to live out the five marks of biblical manhood inspires and challenges men to be all God intended so that future generations have men worth following.”

John Burke

“when my boy impulses might direct me in a way that is contrary to what God would want me to do. The marks are simple, easy to remember, and important, and we need to incorporate them into our lives so that we can be the men God intended us to be.”

Kirk Perry

“Contrary to what lots of folks seem to think, adolescence doesn’t turn a boy into a man. A real man is far more than a boy with a few years under his belt. Thankfully, in this era of great confusion over what it actually means to be a full-fledged man, Brian Tome has written a helpful, timely, and at times hilarious book. I highly recommend it. You’ll find it well worth your time.”
