Product Description

A man's image is one of his most alluring characteristics. In Restoring the Male Image.A Look From the Inside Out, Ellis aims to restore the pride of men looking back to the Harlem Renaissance Era when men dressed with a sense of purpose and dignity. A man's image is defined by the blend of character, style, and sophistication. It is his heart, his purpose and God-given authority that most accurately reflects his true self. Ellis introduces the reader to a powerful acronym by exploring a series of qualities to help men identify and understand their IMAGE: I=Integrity; M=Manhood; A=Authority; G=Generosity; E= Excellence. This book will provoke men to take a deeper look both inside and out and determine whether what they convey is a reflection of their authentic self. Restoring the Male Image will challenge men to arise and confidently dress for their appointment with destiny! Alexis Ellis is driven to impact image in our society.

Highly Recommend for Men of All Ages
This was a really powerful book. I read it with the intention of gaining some knowledge to share with the young men I mentor, and while it achieved that goal, I also gained some really great insight for myself. The book gave me a lot to reflect on, not only my past image, but what I am doing about developing my current image from the inside out.

I wish that I would have read a book like this in my teens, its the kind of book that really shapes how you view yourself and the world around you. Really provides some insight to the power and importance of developing a positive self image that is based on character and integrity.

A Must Read!
If you have any interaction with young males today, you MUST READ this book! The insight was contagious and it was such an easy read. Thanks Mr. Ellis for writing such a much needed book!

Excellent
Mr. Ellis does a good job of staying focused on the point while keeping the reader engaged. My 17 year old son LOVES this book and I have purchased extra copies (3) and gave them to several men in my community who are wroking with young black men. It's a shame that Mr. Ellis does NOT respond to his web page emails to come to poor inner city communities where black boys at the highest risk and help! I guess everyone has a price...
