The Masculine Mandate: God's Calling to Men

Beginning in Genesis, Rev. Phillips shows that God commissioned Adam to "work" and "keep" the Garden of Eden. In these twin tasks, he perceives a template for manhood, one that, when carried out with diligence, provides dignity to men, service to mankind, and glory to God. He then goes on to show that men are called to lead, to love their wives, to discipline their children, and to serve the church of Jesus Christ. --from publisher description
