Publisher's summary

The world needs real men, real bad. And there are all sorts of conflicting ideas and messages about what a "real man" is (and is not). Is a real man one who hunts, loves sports, grills meat, fixes cars, and climbs mountains? Sure, sometimes. But that's not really the point of being a man and it's not the purpose for which men were made.

Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are made to be: "Keepers of the Garden." Protectors and defenders. He calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including "avid indoorsmen" like himself) to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have.

Using short chapters loaded with must-have wisdom and Brant's signature humor, The Men We Need explains the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and entertaining way that will inspire any man who dares to listen.

Enjoyable

Brant did a good job both writing and reading. Good content makes one think a little deeper about being a Godly man in today’s society. The reading flowed really well almost like a conversation well a one sided conversation 😉

Finding a way to be helpful

I see there's nothing wrong at helping my family, associates and strangers. I love the looks on their faces, in their eyes. especially if they have no clue how or where did it come from. but coverage is scary. I hope to have a wife. I hope lord GOD, Christ Jesus I am found a suiter.

Truth that men need

This book speaks to the truth that all men should hear about their responsibility to themselves, to the vulnerable around them, to anyone in need, and to God. It is broken down in to very approachable and real-life anecdotes and lessons. Brant has shared a very life giving thing, in how men are to live as God plans.

Love it!

I found Brant on his podcast and had to read this book. Had a hard time putting it down. Such a plethora of information. I think this book is for everyone. I'm actually going to buy LOTS of copies to give out to my loved ones. God has blessed Brant with insight and wisdom and I'm so glad he is sharing it here.
