Publisher's summary

The blueprint for becoming the man you were made to be - in marriage, family, work, friendships, with God in all of life.

“If you want a no-nonsense guide to getting manhood right, this is it.” (Evander Holyfield, four-time world heavyweight champion)

Guys often approach life like it’s a pickup football game. They make up the rules as they go. They are sloppy rather than disciplined. Many lose interest and simply watch from the sidelines. Yet a man who knows who he was made to be and what he’s pursuing is a powerful force indeed. In Rise of the Servant Kings, Ken Harrison, the chairman of Promise Keepers and a former Los Angeles police officer, gives men the keys to success and gets them into the battle. He explains what we’re fighting for and the path that will lead to victory by reinforcing the importance of holiness, humility, courage, generosity, masculinity, marriage, parenting, prayer, and more. Through scriptures, stories, and an energizing discussion guide, Harrison helps men remember what matters, defeat the Enemy, and pursue their God-given goals with intensity and passion.

God’s plan for you as a man is bigger than you’ve dared to imagine. Stop settling for simply getting by and prepare to rise up as a servant king in every area of life.

Critic reviews

“I have passed the Promise Keepers baton to Ken Harrison with exceeding joy because Ken is a man of the Word and a man of prayer. Never has there been a greater need for men of the Word and prayer because men lead based on who they are. Additionally, Ken has a genuine love for brothers of color and is committed to ensure they are reached, included, and fully involved as Promise Keepers builds an army of godly men. Read this book; it was written by a man of integrity.” (Bill McCartney, founder of Promise Keepers and former head football coach at the University of Colorado)

“No one will ever accuse Ken Harrison, a gritty ex-policeman who now heads Promise Keepers, of pulling any punches in describing the role of a servant king. His message is clear, direct, and on target as he challenges men to accept their responsibility as Christ followers in all arenas of life. Men of all ages will be encouraged by this timely reminder of both the cost and opportunity of authentic manhood.” (Mark Batterson, New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker and lead pastor of National Community Church)

“In Rise of the Servant Kings, Ken Harrison explains clearly what the core qualities of a man of God should be. Since Ken is an ex-police officer, he is not afraid to get right to the nitty-gritty in describing how a man can apply the Bible’s principles for authentic masculinity in every area of life - from personal integrity to marriage to fatherhood to serving his fellow man. If you want a no-nonsense guide to getting manhood right, this is it.” (Evander Holyfield, four-time world heavyweight champion)

Every Man Needs To Read!

Ken Harrison weaves story, caution and instruction so masterfully in this book for serving men.

Phenomenal, turning point

guys, let's stop living for us.

I particularly like the part about a man being known by his enemies....that's a cool way of looking at the temperature of our convictions.

also, the story about him getting kicked out of the church hit home.

Needed

This is definitely a book that I needed to read, and I hope that it helps any man I was just trying to be better. Have the courage.

right on the money

i felt like God was speaking to me through this book.
lots of Bible scripture unpacked very relevant and accurately depicted

The Only Way to Lead

This is an excellent and deeply challenging book for men. Jesus gave up His glory and suffered as a servant, and every man who desires to live a Godly life in this world is called to do the same.

Powerful and transformative

As a private equity professional and husband, I needed to hear this. Ken Harrison inspired me to get to know His word more deeply, identify the liar and evil, and provides inspiration to becoming a Servant King! Absolutely amazing listen. Highly recommend.

Still Stunned and In Awe By What This Has Shown Me

Has a reality ever struck you so profoundly that it left you trembling and speechless? That exact thing is what just happened to me upon the completion of this book. Father help me. I am so hopelessly lost without a true, personal, exclusive relationship with Your Son Jesus. Holy Spirit please lead me to the Truths of Jesus Christ in every single aspect of my life. Oh my God, help me please to find Him, and then never, ever let go in Jesus'Name, Amen

READ/LISTEN TO IT NOW!

Not to sound cliche AT ALL but this IS a truly "Must Read" for all Christian men AND women. For men to recalibrate and redirect our attention off of self and back onto the tasks set before us by Jesus and God our Father and for women to understand our plight and desire to do as He has instructed as it pertains to and for them as well.

This a genuine call for all men to join the battle

This is the best book I've ever experienced other than the Bible of course. Ken Harrison consistently bases and backs his writing up with Scripture in this book. This is an undeniable plea for men to wake up, stamp out our pride, and move to the frontline of the battle. Thank you Mr. Harrison for this authentic definition of what it means to be truly humble and for showing us how vital it is to live in humility every day.

Some great take-aways

It's such a great listen for any man looking to grow in their faith. Very helpful, thank you Ken! Well done!
