Disciplines of a Godly Man (and Heaven Taken by Storm)

There's something going on with young Christian men in America. Studies are finding more young men in church than young women. Bible sales are up, but not by a noticeable margin. More and more football players are talking about God on national television than ever before. College campuses are buzzing with theological talk, and the greater majority of it is among men. And this even seems to be stirring some action in older men. Therefore, there's never been a better time than now to press into being a godly man and raising up godly men.

Disciplines of a Godly Man by Kent Hughes is 19 chapters of easy-to-read, real-to-life, rich instruction for personal reflection, one-on-one discipleship, or men's group studies. I lead two small groups of young men, and we start with Disciplines of a Godly Man. I am also using the table of contents as the direction for our monthly men’s breakfasts at the church where I’m a pastor. (I am using a Text for each of the topics, but the topic is driving my choice of Texts.) The book has been in print since 1991 and has been updated a few times, but it is more important now than ever. It’s outstanding if you're looking to grow as a godly man. It’s also an excellent book for men’s groups and one-on-one discipleship.

Here’s a video of my thoughts and recommendations for Kent Hughes’ Disciplines of a Godly Man (Crossway, 2019). I also couldn’t help a brief discussion of Thomas Watson’s book, “Heaven Taken by Storm” (Banner of Truth).
