The Mark of a Man: Following Christ's Example of Masculinity

In a world where men and women are encouraged to reject traditional sex roles, Elisabeth Elliot candidly reminds men why the sexes are not equal and interchangeable. Written as personal advice to her nephew, The Mark of a Man reveals the glory and purpose of true masculinity. With Christ as the example of the ultimate man, this classic take on understanding a man's role in life and relationships, romantic or otherwise, helps men define their own masculinity in a positive way. This timely repackage encourages men to stand strong in their unique role established by God for all time.

From the Back Cover

"The world cries for men who are strong: strong in conviction, strong to lead, to stand, to suffer...glad to shoulder the burden of manliness."

In The Mark of a Man, respected author Elisabeth Elliot examines the many characteristics of manhood that were exemplified in the life of Christ. Jesus's life demonstrated the distinctive traits of responsibility, sacrifice, courage, obedience, initiative, forgiveness, and endurance. Men who seek to follow him must walk the same path.

Written as advice to Elliot's nephew, this book unabashedly affirms the ways men and women are equal and the ways in which they are distinctly different. It will be a guide to both men and women on understanding the unique ways that men can stand strong in their divinely appointed roles.

Elisabeth Elliot, one of the outstanding women of present-day Christianity, is the author of more than twenty books, including Passion and Purity and The Journals of Jim Elliot.
