“I highly, highly, highly recommend Ed Cole's books and curriculum. Let him lift you up and teach you how to walk like a godly person.”
—John C. Maxwell
The practical, uncompromising, timeless teaching of Ed Cole’s best-selling book Maximized Manhood, read by 20 million men and translated into 47 languages, is available for the first time in a six-week devotional format. Each day includes a key insight from Dr. Cole, inspiring and challenging thoughts about attaining greater success in life, concise wisdom on the day’s theme in bullet-point form, and key Scriptures.
Considered “the father of the Christian men’s movement,” Ed Cole was not afraid to tackle the tough topics that affect men today, including media addiction, pornography, and adultery. Some of the Christlike qualities of the maximized man that Cole highlights include: strong, faithful, courageous, mature, decisive, tough and tender, responsible, loving, and forgiving.
Putting into practice the principles in this devotional will revolutionize your life, helping to transform you into the man God designed you to be.

Right now, instead of quitting, just turn the page, follow the practical, simple steps and start learning how not to quit. Make a decision to read this book when you’re down, and hold off other decisions. This means you might read this more than once. No matter what crisis you find yourself in—whether it’s the lowest low or the hugest opportunity—the following pages will help you meet it head-on. Read, because as I learned at Arco Arena, God really does have better days ahead for you—even when it doesn’t look like it.

Dr. Edwin Louis Cole (1922–2002), known as “the father of the Christian men’s movement,” was called by God to speak with a prophetic voice to the men of this generation. To that end, he founded the Christian Men’s Network, a ministry that majors in men and communicates the reality that manhood and Christlikeness are synonymous. A former pastor, evangelist, missionary, business executive, and denominational leader, Dr. Cole and his wife, Nancy, served the Lord together for more than fifty years. Over four million copies of his books are in circulation in more than forty languages, including his best-selling Maximized Manhood. Since his death, his legacy and vision have been carried on by his “sons” in the faith as they reach tens of thousands of men each month via books, videos, and other media.
