Sex and Money by Paul Tripp
"Sex and money are the two main idols of western culture. We take good things and turn them into God substitutes. Paul Tripp explores how the gospel renews and redefines our relationship with both in this short but impactful read. I recommend anything Paul Tripp writes. Did you know he came and spoke at Seven Rivers one time!?"

Samson and the Pirate Monks by Nate Larkin
"Aside from having the most creative title, Samson and the Pirate Monks combines honesty and humor to address serious issues. No man should do life alone. It didn't work for Samson, it won't work for you. This book was an enjoyable yet challenging read."

The New Man by Dan Doriani
"Dan Dorinai was one of my seminary professors. He was also a pastor at the church my wife attended in St. Louis before we met. The New Man is a great resource for men, easy to read and very relatable."

Disciplines of a Godly Man by R. Kent Hughes
"Most of us men feel the call to grow in our callings to such things as marriage, fatherhood, purity, integrity and leadership, but we often struggle to know how to do so. This book gives men practical principles and grace-filled encouragement to help men to take seriously their calling to grow in godliness. As Paul told Timothy, “godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6:5)”!"
