Good men--husbands, fathers, church leaders, pastors--sometimes make bad choices.
And for far too many men, bad choices have led to the crumbling of marriages and ministries.
Tom Eisenman knows it doesn't have to be this way. He also knows that in order for men to develop authenticity, vulnerability, honesty, trust--the character traits of spiritual maturity--they must cultivate healthy relationships with their brothers on the journey.
In The Accountable Man Eisenman shows men how to build friendships of camaraderie and relational depth. He casts a compelling vision of interdependence and spiritual vitality--a vision in which no man stands alone against the temptations of our twenty-first century.
Perfect for use in men's groups, small groups or one-on-one accountability reationships, this helpful, hopeful book includes lists of straight-to-the-point questions that will help men challenge one another to spiritual maturity and integrity.
"I've known Tom Eisenman for twenty years and can testify that he was an expert at being a good friend before he wrote about it. He's a 'natural' who has become something of an expert--a skilled practitioner of friendship who has reflected on and written a wonderful book about friendship. He is particularly effective in his treatment of the themes of listening and confrontation. This book is well worth reading, discussing and doing."
"Tom is a man who not only writes it but lives it. It's been my privilege to read his books and his life. The two match. Here's another helpful offering loaded with insights and personal reflections that will prove helpful to countless men."
