Restoring the Masculine Soul by Gordon Dalbey (A Book Review)
OK – so a friend of mine suggested this book and it’s real strong. Gordon Dalbey in his book, Restoring the Masculine Soul’, is not presenting another male self-help book. He’s not getting the men all riled up to go against their wives. No, he is calling for the redemption of the masculine soul.
Gordon is calling men out. ‘Stop finding your source of life from the woman or other things that don’t satisfy.’ He tells of the common myth in this last generation that it’s up to the woman to tell man how he should act.
We need to get in touch with a more tender heart and spirit, men are told. Gordon calls men to submit their wounds, anger, and brokenness to the cross of Christ in order to obtain freedom.
Restoring the Roar of the Lion (my paraphrase)…calls all men to re-engage in the battle called life. To re-engage with our families. To re-engage as prayer warriors. To have something to say when the devil messes with our wife or kids (Gen. 3 – she gave to the man standing there doing nothing, saying nothing…) To name our kids and call them into their future. To set a course of life for our families that lead them to the Lord Jesus for his higher purposes.
What would it look like for men to see the yoke of shame destroyed? How could a redeemed man change the course of history? What if we called women out in the beauty in which they stand instead of using them as objects of worship?
What if we actually lived into our gender? Standing for truth and willing to die on the line in the sand drawn with our swords of truth. Living for God and dying in His arms. What would it do to the next generation if we lived for their future and prepared them for it?
you can buy the book on-line at Amazon and yes, you can get an e-book for your iPad or Kindle.
