Disciplines of a Godly Young Man

By: Jonathan Carswell, W. Carey Hughes, R. Kent Hughes

Narrated by: Tom Parks

An adaptation of the classic book Disciplines of a Godly Man, this new book provides a biblical framework for living a radical life as a young disciple of Jesus. Point blank, this is a punchy, no-holds-barred book for young men that lays out the call and command to be disciplined, godly, and sold-out for Jesus. Addressing topics such as purity in one's thought-life, peer pressure, and perseverance as a Christian, this specially adapted work stands to influence a struggling generation.

Using the same no-nonsense approach that made R. Kent Hughes' Disciplines of a Godly Man a positive influence on thousands of adults, this adaptation by Kent, his son Carey, and veteran youth leader Jonathan Carswell outlines the disciplines necessary to help a young man align every facet of his life with the fundamental truths of the Bible. It not only teaches how to live a life of Christian discipline, but also instills the desire to do so into a young heart longing to live a life of integrity, meaning, and fulfillment. This book brings the authority of a trusted name with a new flavor that will engage a younger audience.

Outstanding discipleship resource!

This book is wonderful to review with men of all ages, and most chapters for ladies as well. Warning: do NOT play chapter 3 in mixed company, as it covers very sensitive issues regarding purity that will be embarrassing and awkward in a mixed group.

Excellent disciplines for walking in Godly character

This addresses how to navigate many of the always changing cultural and humanistic beliefs that oppose the never changing truths and principles in God’s Word. The Word of God has guided generations to bring about cultural change for the greater good, and it's wisdom has prevailed. Much of that accumulated knowledge and wisdom is presented here to help those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Homophobic and totally disconnected from reality

This books immediately picks up by condemning homosexuality and "gamers"? It literally tells men that it is more desirable to appear mean and cold to women than to risk being friendly to them, and in the next chapter talks about how important interpersonal connection is. It also claims that you can never emotionally connect with a woman you aren't intent on marrying. In this book women are either wives or obstacles. It's disgusting, and does less than nothing to help young men connect with God.
