The need to talk honestly about the real issues facing Christian
men has never been greater. Though they may feel reluctant to seek
help and embarrassed to admit it, many men are fighting secret wars
against stress, burnout, unhealthy relationships, temptation, and
sexuality. What many don't know, however, is that these battles can
be won.
This newly repackaged edition of Men's Secret Wars provides tested
strategies for defeating the secrets that threaten men's private
lives. Through the candid stories from the author and other men who
have fought similar battles, readers will learn to recognize the
"at risk" factors that precede the development of a secret life and
will take comfort in the fact that they are not alone in their
struggles. Includes new writing from the author, personal growth
questions, and a leader's guide for small groups.
