Today's Christian men are bombarded with sexual temptations from
the Internet, television, movies, and the whole sensually explicit
culture. In Manhood: Navigating the Mind Fields, Peter Pritchard
offers thirty-one daily devotional readings for men seeking
victory over temptation and concerned with producing lives of greater
purity of thought and action.Unlike many 365-day devotional books,
this series of thirty-one men's devotionals may be read in one month or
repeated monthly around the year.
Male mental and moral purity requires personal and constant devotion
to God, a deep commitment to the Scriptures, and a conscious decision to
bring the mind under subjection to Jesus Christ.
The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, which is used in one of the
devotionals, has become a metaphor for the
spiritual and behavioral struggle in many men's lives. Much as Joseph
resisted the brazen propositions of Potiphar's wife, today's Christian
men must resist sexual temptation and learn to say, "How then could I do
such a wicked thing and sin against God?" (Genesis 39:9).
Peter Pritchard has been an executive recruiter for over twenty years,
and has concurrently been a servant-leader in the church as a deacon,
elder, and associate pastor. Since receiving Christ at age fourteen, he
has always had a burden for bringing others to a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ. In 1999, he graduated with a Master of Divinity
degree from Ashland Theological Seminary in Ohio, and was ordained to
the ministry the following morning. He and his wife Junie were married
in 1981 and have four children. |
