The Transformation of a Man's Heart: Reflections on the Masculine Journey

By: Smith, Stephen W.

Book Overview

Life is many things, but it is definitely not a flow chart. We prove it every day. We deeply long for change, but formulas and seminars don't get it done. The good news is, God is at work across the life span, encouraging us and empowering us to overcome the hurdles of our past, the challenges of our present and the fears of our future.The Transformation of a Man's Heart is a book of stories: twelve men write from their hearts about their own journey toward transformation.Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, shares his journey toward experiencing a transformed marriage with his wife.Ross Campbell, Christian psychiatrist and author of How to Really Love Your Child, discusses his heart's transformation in growing as a father with his children.Gordon Dalbey pioneered the men's movement in his Healing the Masculine Soul. Here he shares how our past must be transformed in order to experience all God has for us as men.James Houston, mentor and friend to many Christian leaders throughout the world, considers how his own journey toward transformation reflects the call God places on every man's heart.These and other leading men in their fields come alongside you in The Transformation of a Man's Heart, telling you their stories and pointing you toward the God who in the beginning wrote every man a happy ending."This book is full of stories. Some will make you think. Others will make you cry. Still others will make you kneel. All will make you want to be a better man." (From the foreword by Ken Gire, author of The Divine Embrace.)

Be transformed!

An interesting read. It is a book that discusses how one can be transformed through various stages of life; various relationships. Its a book that takes an intimate look at your relationship with God & with others; also, how to transform your heart in the way that He would have you to be.

Being a Godly Man

A great forum for learning and discussion among men who want to be all that God has called them to be for their wives and children.
