Honestly?. . .
"Why wait for something when I can enjoy it now?"
“These images don’t really affect me. . .do they?”
"How could smoking a little weed really be that bad when it's becoming legalized everywhere?”
“I’d like to tell you I don’t care what others think, but honestly, I want to be liked."
Maybe you're thinking, "I've had one. . .maybe even a few of these thoughts, and I don't know how to even begin to deal with them."
The good news? You're not alone. And there is a way to fight these battles head-on, overcoming the past, pressing forward, and becoming the person God designed you to be.
So what's a guy to do? . . .

This book was informative and detailed some of the struggles that Christian men face. I believe this book could be used for Bible studies at churches. Men and women can read the book. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this great book.

Seasoned youth worker and Bible teacher Jonathan McKee opens his latest book, "The Guy's Guide to Four Battles Every Young Man Must Face," with a great story about his dog Lionel who ate three months' worth of fat drippings from the grill's drip tray. That dog was well, "sick as a dog" he sayys. Then, comparing that to the many "fun" things the world dangles in teens faces today, McKee asks, "Is four minutes of feasting on fat worth thirty-six hours of regret?"
Through the rest of the book he unpacks that concept, looking at four key issues that young guys face today: self-esteem, screens, sexual temptation and substance abuse. Each chapter includes some questions to get guys thinking about and digesting what they're reading, and then McKee offers some final thoughts. Jonathan doesn't skirt any issues. He deals with issues like pornography and substance abuse with honesty. He uses scientific studies and testimonials to show how God truly has our best in mind and the best design. When we do things as God has outlined in His Word, we experience life as God intended--happier, healthier, and blessed.
This highly relevant, open, and honest book is one young men can read on their own, or it's something parents can use as a conversation starter. It's even something small groups could use to begin some important discussions. McKee offers biblical wisdom to deal with four of the most significant struggles young men face today.
*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for this honest review. The opinons expressed are my own.

I was impressed by this book. The author has a likable communication style, and I can see this book being read with interest by young men seeking for answers and encouragement. It would be a good book for a mentor to go over one-on-one with a student, or even in a small group. I’d also recommend it for parents to read to know to know how to open up conversations with a teenage son. A good resource for parents or anyone who works with teens.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This is a great guide for young Christian men trying to navigate the modern world and make moral, faith-based decisions. In a world that promotes selfishness, immoral behaviors, and materialism, The Guy's Guide to Four Battles Every Young Man Must Face serves as a great resource for young men (ideally teenage and college aged guys). This book is not overly religious even though it is rooted in faith. Great book overall!
