A Review: "Good Man" by Nathan Clarkson

I have been a fan of Sally Clarkson's books and podcasts for a number of years now. Her ministry has helped encourage me in my own journey of motherhood and given me a biblical foundation for what mothering should be. On one of her podcasts, she hosted a conversation with her son, Nathan, and they discussed his new book called "Good Man:  An Honest Journey into Discovering Who Men Were Actually Created to Be".  As a mom of two boys, I knew this would be a good book to dive into to help me gain some perspective on encouraging my preteen boys into manhood. 

In a time when culture looks down on and even desecrates what a good man is, this book is desperately needed. I appreciated each chapter taking a deep dive into one particular character trait and then flushing that trait out with stories and Scripture. Each chapter concludes with a few meditation questions, a Scripture verse to reflect on, and a prayer. There is great encouragement and reminders that perfection is not required to be a good man, but the pursuit of becoming a good man in wholly worthwhile and a lifelong journey. I would highly recommend this book for boy moms and all men in general.
