"As a man created in the image of God you are destined for greatness. You were created
to conquer." Richard Exley
It's never too late! Forget the past. With God's intervention, you can begin anew. You
can become the man God has called you to be. In Man of Valor: Every Man's Quest for
a Life of Honor, Conviction and Character, author Richard Exley provides detailed
illustrations and then advises how to adopt the attributes exhibited by honorable men,
such as spiritual passion, courage, loyalty, integrity, sexual purity, wisdom and compassion.
Each subject is divided into short, powerful chapters. Each chapter contains a personal
or biblical-based essay; Action Steps; Thought for the Day; Scripture for the Day; and a
prayer. This guide can be read cover to cover, or, a reader who wishes to concentrate
efforts on a particularly troublesome area can utilize the comprehensive index.
Mr. Exley touches on nearly every challenge men face in life -health, finances, employment,
and family. His advice is straightforward and hard-hitting, yet compassionate. For some
men, the Action Steps will require a great deal of introspection and a steeled commitment
to God and to self. However, the end result-becoming a man of valor-will make it worthwhile.
Too many little boys are parading through life while pretending to wear men's clothes.
It's time to step up to the plate. Get with it and get with God. Our present conditions,
our future generations need righteous men to lead, to teach. Whether you seek advice,
encouragement, or validation about personal perspectives and priorities, I recommend Man
of Valor: Every Man's Quest for a Life of Honor, Conviction and Character as an excellent
resource.
