Product Description

A bold and needed message from commentator Kevin McCullough, host of a daily radio show in New York City and a syndicated columnist for WorldNetDaily.

Over the last few decades, a key detriment to true manhood has been a radical feminism that has redefined society’s views of men and women. Many men have become a faint image of their former selves and are no longer standing strong when it comes to responsibility, social interaction, and parental authority. The result? Marriages and families that are crumbling.

• In what ways is manhood being undermined?
• Why are men and women reluctant to address this problem?
• What should a man be? And how can he achieve that?

In the Bible, God provides a blueprint for men to follow—one that encourages them to behave with dignity, act with clarity, and lead with conviction.

A powerful resource for men who want to live according to God’s design for them.

Will the REAL men please stand up?
I ordered five copies of McCullough's book The Kind of Man Every Man Should Be. One for me, my dad, my brother, and two copies for my guy friends (both of whom just turned 21). This book was a real eyeopener for me. I, like thousands of women, find myself wondering, "Where have all the REAL men gone?" I understand now why men have become so passive and why they have such weak spirits.
What ALL you men out there need to do is FIGHT. Stop letting all these men-hating feminists threat you like garbage. Stand up and fight!

"Where have the real men gone?"
Syndicated columnist and talk show host Kevin McCullough asks the question, "Where have the real men gone?" God intended for men and women to be different--equal, but different. Since the feminist movement of the 1960's, men have been taught otherwise. TV and political correctness contribute to the loss of masculinity. The younger generation has few moral, manly heroes to emulate, because human standards are deteriorating. Boys need to see ethics and virtues in their fathers. They need to see strong marriages and husbands respecting their wives. More importantly, they need to see fathers as the spiritual head of the household.

The Kind of man Every Man Should Be was easy to comprehend. I enjoyed this book. The best part was the personal details that McCullough shares with readers. It is easy to recommend this book to all men.

A personal and affecting work
Last month, I received a copy of The Kind of Man Every Man Should Be: Taking a Stand for True Masculinity, the latest book by my friend and co-host, Kevin McCullough. Kevin pushes back against the forces he sees as undermining men in modern society, describes the damage they do, and offers his recipe for countering both.

No one who knows Kevin will be surprised to see him argue for a Biblical perspective on true masculinity and balance between the genders. He makes no apologies for believing that Scriptural prescriptions for healthy male identity. Books like this can either take an academic or activist approach, and Kevin definitely uses the latter. While he makes passing references to studies and research, he does not rely on them to "prove" his observations. Rather, he allows his observations to give readers context for his advice to men seeking to assert their masculinity in healthy, productive ways that will benefit not just themselves -- in fact, not primarily themselves -- but their wives, children, and communities. He writes about the differences between equality and sameness, and how the confusion of these two concepts in terms of gender have left two generations of men confused, women dissatisfied, and families in crisis.

Those of us who have read Kevin's column, blogs, or heard him on my show and his own will not find his perspective surprising. However, The Kind of Man turns out to be a very personal work, and in that sense we get an opportunity to know Kevin much more intimately than I have in four years of friendship. Kevin shares painful lessons from his own life at both failed and successful masculinity. As I read the book, I was surprised at how little I knew about my friend, and how affecting these anecdotes are in underscoring his message.

It's these passages that communicate best Kevin's argument for valuing masculinity and celebrating the special gifts given to both genders. At 175 pages, it's an economical and fast read. Kevin challenges men to assert themselves against popular culture and show that true masculinity is not to be feared or reviled, but valued as an essential quality for our communities to function best.
