Synopsis Tough Guys of the Bible by : Paul Horrocks

TRUE COURAGE IS FEARING GOD NOT MEN Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised up men to try to bring them back. The prophets, the apostles, Jesus, and even more recent Christians have all performed this role. Tough Guys of the Bible profiles men such as these. You will learn four common characteristics of courageous men so you can incorporate those virtues into your life. If you're already a Christian, the lives of the Tough Guys will challenge you to live boldly for Jesus even when it requires great risk and sacrifice. If you're not a Christian, don't reject Jesus because of weak men inside the church. Explore the claims of the Bible through the lives of men who followed God the most, not those who followed Him the least. Evaluate the courageous life of Jesus. We hope you choose to join the Tough Guys in following Him as well. "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" -Psalm 118:6 - ABOUT THE AUTHORS - Paul Horrocks is an entrepreneur and host of the Biblical Courage podcast.

Synopsis Tough Guys and True Believers by : John M. Robertson

Some men are especially difficult to manage in the psychotherapy room. They are controlling, exploitive, rigid, aggressive, and prejudiced. In a word, they are Authoritarian. This book is a guide for therapists and counselors who work with these men, offering an understanding of their psychological development and providing empirically supported recommendations to work with them effectively. In the first part, Robertson describes several versions of authoritarian men. Some are Tough Guys (workplace bullies, abusive partners, sexual harassers), and others are True Believers (men who use religion to justify their authoritarian behavior). Robertson draws from a diverse literature in psychology, sociology, men’s studies, and neurobiology to describe the developmental histories and personalities of these men. Part two offers practical and specific strategies to assess and treat these wounded men—developing a masculine friendly alliance, respecting their personal and religious beliefs, and teaching them self-awareness and self-regulation skills. Throughout, Robertson emphasizes a reality that many therapists doubt: Some authoritarian men want to change their behavior, and are capable of doing so. This book presents an empathic and respectful view of a group of men too often written off as unmanageable and unchangeable.

Synopsis Tough Guys by : Dale Arnold

There is only one sport, outside of actual combat disciplines, where two participants can square off in old fashioned, bare-knuckle pugilism without facing swift ejection. Hockey has long held a place for two willing combatants, and it has been said that "no one goes for popcorn during a fight." Fans know what to expect on the ice from players with nicknames like Knuckles, The Grim Reaper, The Bruise Brothers, or The Hammer. Yet off the ice, the men who step into these brutish roles are often the kindest, gentlest and most popular players on a team--not to mention some of the best storytellers to ever lace up skates.Tough Guys honors the experiences of these NHL enforcers throughout history. Author and longtime broadcaster Dale Arnold profiles fighters across eras, sharing their journeys, struggles, and moments of glory.

Synopsis Learn To Live: Toughen Up by : William Reid

The title, Learn to Live: Toughen Up along with the subtitle, Jesus is a Tough Guy, is meant to draw attention to the importance of learning the Bible and making proper application to Christian living. The purpose of this book is to help people make the connection between the Bible and personal problem solving. I believe the Bible has the answer or solution to every problem. The most difficult part of problem solving is figuring out how to find the solution and make the application. We have become familiar with Donald Trump's phrase, "Make America Great Again." Adaptations of the phrase have popped up everywhere. I think the church should adopt the phrase, "Make the Bible Great Again." It's time to close the gap between problem solving and biblical understanding. God is the "Answer Man." The Bible is the "Answer Book." Jesus is the "world's greatest teacher." Therefore, we should become great learners. That's how we "Learn to Live." This book is an analysis of how Jesus dealt with his problems. He is our prime example for problem solving, behavior and attitude. Jesus was loving, kind, and compassionate; but he also was very tough. Every great person in the Bible was a tough guy, and every great woman was a tough gal. We just need to take our Bible and Learn to Live: Toughen Up. I want to follow a tough leader. Jesus was a Tough Guy.

Synopsis Hard Questions for the Bible Answer Man by : Jay Howard

Hank Hanegraaff has been president of the Christian Research Institute since 1989. He is credited with authoring several books and also has been the host of The Bible Answer Man radio program. However, over the last few years a great deal of evidence has been unearthed to indicate that Hanegraaff's presidency is laced with multiple problems that need to be examined. In this ground-breaking book Jay Howard discusses many issues that show a blatant disregard for truth by the current CRI president. These and many more questions will be dealt with in the pages of Hard Questions for The Bible Answer Man: [ Was Hanegraaff really Walter Martin's handpicked-successor? [ Did Walter Martin's widow plan to endorse him, as the next CRI president, during the funeral? [ Is it really necessary for a president of a Christian nonprofit organization to make over $250,000 a year? [ Why did he fire so many key people after he took over in 1989? [ Was he equipped to take over The Bible Answer Man program in 1991? [ Why did CRI buy him a $66,000 Lexus sports car in 2004 while they were laying off staff? [ Did the post office in Rancho Santa Margarita really misdirect CRI's mail for three months at the end of 2004? [ Is his Personal Witness Training manual a plagiarism of Evangelism Explosion by D. James Kennedy? [ Why does he need to live in a one million dollar house in a gated community in North Carolina?
