Hello, all. I'm in the midst of reading Act Like Men: 40 Days to Biblical Manhood by James MacDonald (but at my reading speed it's going to be more like half a year), and noticed there's quite the subsection of the Christian Living aisle at the bookstore dedicated to being a more-Christian man, or a more manly Christian, or what have you. Going to be tackling Gene Getz' Measure of a Man next, but wanted to talk about this and ask if you guys had read any books you found helpful.
It seems to me that these fall primarily under the subject of sanctification, and I am nothing if not monergistic (at least in theory--in practice, I sometimes fall short). Salvation--all of it, not just justification--is of the Lord, including our sanctification, and if/when I try to complete in the flesh what God began in the spirit, that is where I begin to go off the rails. So I approach books like these with a little trepidation.
Have any of you found books like these to be helpful?
