Langtext

Derek Maul understands why many men find church a little … boring. When the church opts for a comfortable status quo instead of a meaningful engagement with Christ, it often leaves men cold. Maul reminds readers that Jesus came to bring an abundant life full of passion and purpose.

Maul looks at 10 key words that describe the abundant life—among them *excellence**, *commitment**, *authenticity**, and *community**—in his collection of meditations that speak clearly to men's concerns and experiences. In an inviting, nonjudgmental manner, he presents practical concepts that can help men set priorities, sharpen their focus, and experience the zest of a life filled with meaning and value. Each meditation is guided by scripture and includes reflection questions and prayer.

An ideal resource for a men's group study or for a time of personal reflection and discernment.

UNIQUE SELLING POINT
A successful men's group leader motivates men to live a Christ-centered life.
