Reclaim God's Design for Manhood in a Confused World

In an era where masculinity is under constant attack and cultural definitions shift daily, Christian men are left wondering: What does it truly mean to be a man according to God's Word?

Pastor Matthew D. Adams cuts through the cultural noise to provide a biblically grounded roadmap for authentic manhood. Act Like a Man isn't about conforming to worldly stereotypes or toxic masculinity—it's about embracing the Christlike character that defines true biblical masculinity.

Drawing from Scripture's timeless wisdom, Adams explores five foundational principles: 

  • righteous living
  • sacrificial love
  • dependent leadership
  • courageous zeal
  • humble servanthood

He then applies these principles across every sphere of a man's life—marriage, fatherhood, church leadership, workplace, and society.

Whether you're a husband seeking to love your wife like Christ loved the church, a father wanting to raise godly children, or a man striving to lead with integrity, this book provides practical, Spirit-empowered guidance rooted in God's unchanging Word.

Don't let culture define your manhood. Discover what it means to ‘act like a man’ according to the One who created masculinity itself.
