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.

Just Awesome!

Get it, read it, live it out! I was totally rocked by this book. Brant has a way of communicating God’s truth in a way that’s easily understood. I will probably re-read this every year.

Not what you're expecting.

This is a fantastically witty and insightful book. Not only did it give some of the spiritual gut punches that I needed, but it is also hilarious and worth writing down a lot of thoughts to revisit.

Not just for men

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to reflect on their place in the world and their relationship with Christ. Though Brant addresses the role of men as Keepers of the Garden, this is not misogynistic book about man’s superiority or power.

Insightful, challenging and practical!

It’s not a perfect book. There’s some sayings he has that I disagree with like his teaching on anger. However, it’s largely fantastic! And he has some gems in it that absolutely blew my mind and challenged me. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read/listened to it yet!
