11 Guiding Principles for Men

About the Book

It is imperative to strive for perfection daily.

For Christian men, that means communicating with God, seeking his will, and being the best man you can be for yourself, your friends, your family, your community, and your church. Author Nathaniel L. Cropp explores how to be a better man spiritually and naturally in 11 Guiding Principles for Men.

This self-help guide can help you move closer to the Lord and teach you how to transform yourself into the man that God wants you to be, develop a new and righteous way of thinking, and living the healthiest, happiest, and most fulfilling life you can.

The Bible shows that success is connected to how you choose to live your life. By looking at his own life and decisions, Cropp shows that it’s possible to dramatically change your life by following eleven guiding principles.

Each chapter includes a meditation guide, focus thoughts, questions, and verses of scripture—the perfect combination to encourage reflection and action. The guidebook is a natural choice for men’s groups, Sunday school lessons, and any man who wants to be better and do more.
