Description

Disciplines Of A Godly Man has been speaking to the hearts of men for the past 10 years, and it continues to be timeless in its message.

Called 'an inspiring and practical guide for men who seek to reflect God's glory in their lives,' this newly revisited edition is for every man who wants to know what it means to be a Christian in today's world.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO MEN THAT ARE NOT THIN-SKINNED!
It challenged my spirit...

LibraryThing member cjsdg

Excellent challenge towards godliness. Hughes carefully avoids legalism, and exhorts men to disciplined lives in 17 key areas. Chapters on friendship, prayer, and ministry were particularly helpful. Hughes writes clearly and forthrightly, and provides an excellent spur. This will be helpful to

breeze through regularly as a checklist, which is why his chapter on grace is a fitting and encouraging conclusion.

I read this as part of men's bible study group with my church in Spring 2015. Substantively, it was a good book--especially for a group like that, where there was quite a diversity of backgrounds and interests. That said, there are many parts of the book that IMHO haven't aged well, and mark it

inescapably as a late product of the 80s/90s culture wars. Once one looks back some of the rhetorical flourishes and rants, the basic bones are solid and the principles it espouses are well put.

This is one of those few books that should be read every year. Hughes's advice is cogent and supremely biblical. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
