Man Alive by Parick Morley

I had to admit the when I received the book “Man Alive” I was not excited but then after reading the first few pages I could not put it down. Patrick Morley was able to put in words what many Christian men today still struggle with, their ability to identify and understanding what their true purpose in life is. Many men in our society have their purpose and priorities backwards. Morley’s observation regarding men needing a higher purpose in life was a bull’s eye for me. After I started a non-profit charity and a men’s church group the feeling as Morley describes as a higher meaning or purpose full life is true. Your life begins to realign, your purpose in life is changed and your relationships turn for the better.

Morley’s reviews the seven primal needs into a powerful spiritual life in his book. He explores the internal feeling most men have but do not share with others. Then he moves with related stories where most men can easily relate to similar situations. He proceeds to provide examples of how to break this cycle of men feeling worthless. The last part of the book…well let us say the main focus is how you can leave the world a little better for having been there.

I would highly suggest this book for any man who is a church pew warmer and not a church doer.

I received a free copy of this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing in exchange for my honest review of the book.
