He gives them what they need to finally get it.\" --from the foreword by Jerry Leachman Men just \"get\" this book! It seems to resonate with them. Men who dont read many books read this one and want to get it into the hands of others. Why? Because Richard Simmons \"gets it\"--he identifies the ultimate issue all men face regardless of their age  occupation  or marital status. \"Men so often define themselves by what they do  who they know  or what they own. And when they do so  they unwittingly set themselves up for great confusion and failure in their personal lives.\" --Richard Simmons Gathering support from the writings of noted authors and social commentators  Christian and secular  Simmons emphatically reminds us that every man at some point in life suffers misfortune. No one is exempt. However  the challenges of life offer men the potential for great good. In the midst of these struggles  we have the opportunity to see our lives transformed. The True Measure of a Man is uplifting  challenging  and most of all it points the way to personal and spiritual growth--based on the one  true measure we were meant to use! With the free  downloadable study guide  it serves as a superb resource for mens groups and church ministries. This book will change your life...and  perhaps  the lives of those closest to you. \"The True Measure of a Man captures the importance of character over achievement. Richard connects the dots for men who are looking for something more in their lives than mere success.\" --Coach Bill McCartney  founder of Promise Keepers \"Should you read this book? If you can relate to any of the following  you will definitely want to soak in Richard Simmons soul-probing The True Measure of a Man: You are weary  youve lost your way  or never found it. Youve been humbled  had all the props knocked out  and been turned upside down. You want to know how you got off track  get your bearings back  and figure out what really matters. You want to surrender to the truth  and youre tired of living a lie. However  if you still think youre smarter than everyone else  you just wouldnt get it. This is a book I plan to read again.\" --Patrick Morley  PhD  author of The Man in the Mirror and How to Survive the Economic Meltdown \"The True Measure of a Man is a book I wish I had written  which is about the best compliment I can pay to any book. It is what I would call a great read both accessible and profound in its understanding of the inner forces that make up the male psychology as a man passes through midlife into  hopefully  a productive and fulfilling second season.\" --Bob Buford  Founder and Chairman  Leadership Network  author of Halftime and Finishing Well \"The True Measure of a Man is a book for every man of every faith or no faith at all. Hell learn why he doesnt have to live with the guilt  insecurity  and fear that most men experience but often pretend they dont.\" --Fred Barnes  Executive Editor  Weekly Standard  and regular contributor\/commentator with FOX News Channel \"Richard E. Simmons IIIs book The True Measure of a Man is so full of common sense and practicality. It is especially poignant and meaningful at such a critical time in our country. May we all come to know Gods grace  that he might teach us humility and kindness for all.\" --Ben Crenshaw  golf legend and two-time Masters Tournament winner\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116246556725,"sku":"ByrdShop_1581694415","price":61.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781581694413.jpg?v=1776031872","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-true-measure-of-a-man-how-perceptions-of-success-achievement-recognition-fail-men-in-difficult-times-9781581694413","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
