Publisher's Synopsis
Many guys struggle today to understand what real manhood is all about. The examples they see in the media and perhaps in their own lives do not portray a true picture of what a godly man should be. This Bible study will use the MANHOOD acrostic from John Croyle's Two-Minute Drill to Manhood to help guys discover what it means to be the man God wants them to be.
