But these are turbulent times to be a man. In gathering material for this audiobook, Morley interviewed many men. Their input was powerful. And transparent. They agreed that it's increasingly difficult to juggle all their responsibilities as men, husbands, fathers, friends, workers, churchmen, and citizens. As Nick put it, 'It feels almost impossible to live out a biblical model of manhood.'
We all feel it, don't we? Something about this world just isn't right. There are so many voices phishing to get inside our heads. It feels like we're being 'hacked.' Spiritually hacked.
No one understands what you're going through more than men's expert Patrick Morley, author of the landmark bestseller The Man in the Mirror, which has sold over 4 million copies. And now, Morley has put together a game plan so you can get that win you're looking for. The Christian Man is filled with powerful stories and refreshingly practical answers to questions like:
How can I lead a more balanced life?How can I have a deeper walk with God?What makes a great husband?How can I become a dad who makes a difference?How should I think about my work?What's the right way to deal with lust?By the end of this must-listen book, you will know how to intentionally release the power of God on the issues that matter most to you. You'll be able to walk with confidence in the one identity that matters most: The Christian Man.

'Like a good coach at 'halftime,' Morley helps men evaluate their past mistakes and provides the kind of practical insights, encouragement, and inspiration that will help them 'run to win' the rest of the way--and reach their full potential in Christ.'--Bill McCartney, founder andamp; CEO, Promise Keepers 'Morley's analogy of the 'midlife lake' is worth the price of the book. He asks the right questions and rightly predicts that your 'second half' can be the most significant part of your life.'--Bob Buford, author of Halftime Refocus Your Life The first part of your life was like a river running swiftly within its banks. You were working hard to make your mark. You were intense. Focused. Then your river broadened into a lake. Now you find it hard to focus. Often, instead of feeling drive and purpose, you feel distracted--even insignificant. Patrick Morley shows how this season of perplexity can become a man's golden opportunity to 'reinvent' himself for life's second half. If this sounds like you--or someone you know and love--this book is exactly what you're looking for. Morley gives biblical insights, lived out in the crucible of his own life experience. This book will help you redefine your vision, your goals, and the heart that drives them. Second Wind for the Man in the Mirror will help you find a fresh sense of authenticity. Once again, you'll feel your life regaining speed as the waters are gathered by the converging riverbanks just ahead.
You Don't Have to Settle
Over the last four decades, I've met one-on-one with thousands of men. Most of them know that Jesus promised a rich and satisfying life (John 10:10), but too many are confused about what that looks like. In fact, I'd estimate that 90 percent of Christian men lead lukewarm, stagnant, defeated lives-and they hate it. When men try to put into words what's holding them back, they invariably describe one or more of these seven symptoms:
-I just feel like I'm in this thing alone.
-I don't feel like God cares about me personally—not really.
-I don't feel like my life has a purpose. In fact, it seems random.
-I have destructive behaviors that keep dragging me down.
-My soul feels dry.
-My most important relationships are not working.
-I don't feel like I'm doing anything that will make a lasting difference.
Do you see yourself in these statements? In my experience, these inner aches and pains correspond to seven primal God-given needs that all men feel deeply. And in Man Alive, I'll show you something surprising-God's plan to harness that raw, restless energy you feel, pull you out of mediocrity, and propel you toward the life you were meant to live. I promise you, there is a way. No man should have to settle for half alive. You can become the man God created you to be. You can experience a powerful life transformed by Christ. In the book you're holding, I'll show you how. ~Patrick Morley, PhD.
In his phenomenally successful The Man in the Mirror, award-winning author Patrick Morley took men for a close-up on crucial aspects of their manhood and challenged them to establish wise priorities in life. In Seven Seasons of the Man in the Mirror, Morley shifts the focus to wide-angle. Looking at the broad sweep of life itself, he helps men determine where they are, where they're headed, and how to get there.
Drawing on the lessons of his own life and wisdom from the Bible, Morley presents hard-won perspectives on the seven seasons of Reflection, Building, Crisis, Renewal, Rebuilding, Suffering, and Success--and in so doing, addresses men's deep longing for direction and purpose. With candor and passion, he speaks to issues every man must face. He illustrates them with true, modern-life stories. And he presents meaty questions for men to chew on and decisions for them to act on. This penetrating, richly encouraging book will help men turn from empty pursuits to the joy, passion, and eternal satisfaction of manhood's highest purpose.
If you asked 100 men what they really want out of life, 86 would tell you 'I just want to be happy.' The problem is, most of these guys have no idea how to attain this goal. So they try to achieve happiness through things that make them laugh or feel good . . . things that can't create long-term happiness. If you've been wondering, What will make me happy -- really happy? Then the tapes you now hold in your hand will give you the answers. Patrick Morley helps you discover the 'blockage points' that can keep you from the joy God intends, and he guides you toward success that matters. Gifted at speaking to the gut-level issues men face, Morley sheds light on ten important areas of your life: Lordship - Balance - Vocation - Suffering - Discipleship - Stewardship - Witnessing - Service - Humor - Love - Ten Secrets for the Man in the Mirror offers life-changing insights in a frank, engaging style. And it's concise enough to listen to on a single plane trip -- perfect for the on-the-go man in search of a guiding purpose the rat race can't begin to offer.
Patrick Morley helps men and women move successfully through midlife transition -- Today, midlife is not so much an 'age' as an 'experience.' It is the time we each come to, that moment of self-assessment, when we wonder if we have taken the right path. Sometime in our 30s, 40s, or 50s, the dreams that haven't materialized for us, the goals we haven't achieved, loom before us --- and we recognize they may never happen. We stand at a crossroads and ask, 'Who have I become? How did I get here? Is this who I really am and want to be? How can I reinvent myself so the rest of my journey matters?' In Second Wind for the Second Half, Patrick Morley offers insight for men and women alike. Here is wisdom for all who have reached a turning point midway through life and wonder where to go to find a new and better journey.
Raising issues common to all of us during the middle years, Second Wind for the Second Half offers practical ideas to make peace with the changes that occur, and shows readers how to pass through to a deeper, lasting sense of significance and joy. When life loses its zip and what was meaningful suddenly seems meaningless, it can become a golden opportunity to examine our assumptions about our own lives. Second Wind for the Second Half shows how this process of reevaluation and reinvention of ourselves can spur us on to find new and promising pathways for a more fulfilling, joyous life.
