"The Measure of a Young Man:  Become the Man God Wants You to Be"

Character:  The Mark of a Real Man

When his son, Kenton, was in junior high, pastor and bestselling author Gene Getz wrote a series of letters to him based on 1 Timothy 4:12:  "No one should despise your youth; instead, you should be an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."  Out of that powerful, life-shaping verse, Gene drew seven principles that he hoped would inspire Kenton to become a young man of faith, strength and Godly character.  Gene knew that true manhood doesn't happen by accident, and he prayed that his son would choose the right path.

In "The Measure of a Young Man", Gene and Kenton, who is now a husband and father of five, have teamed up to share those seven principles with you.  Inside, you'll be challenged to find your identity in Christ and to set high standards for yourself in words, in daily living, in loving others, in growing your faith and in sexuality.  Good choices in these areas of life are what separate the men from the boys.  Which will you be?
