All important issues are explored with refreshing candor, from personal holiness to sexual purity to spiritual warfare and more. Every young man eager to make his life count will gain huge benefits from this book.” –Josh McDowell, author and speaker “ Every Young Man God’s Man does more than just warn young men of the dangers that lurk in the shadows of adolescence. It gives them hope that they can overcome and conquer their fears.
