The author, Gene Getz, relates each aspect of 1 Timothy 3:2 to what men should reflect in each of their lives. It is chocked full of Biblical principles and words of encouragement and wisdom from this Godly speaker and author. Highly recommend.

***September 29, 2024***
In his letters to Timothy and Titus, Paul spells out in detail the qualifications for men who serve as leaders in the church. Most of the 20 characteristics or qualities listed by Paul are applied to all Christians in his other New Testament letters. Likewise this book, though written primarily with men in mind, speaks to women as well. Every Christian wife will want to read this book to discover how she can provide the supportive love and understanding her husband needs in order to reach his potential level of maturity in Christ. Married or single, man or woman, this book is for you, if you want to grow in Christ. This book reflects the writer's experiences with a group of men who shared together in the birth of the Fellowship Bible show more Church in Dallas, Texas. show less
