Bringing Home the Prodigals by Rob Parsons
Rob Parsons' message is for anyone who cares about prodigals. He urges us to be released from false guilt, to stop judging each other, and to remember that God, the perfect parent, has trouble with his children, too. He challenges the church to recognize the part it has played in creating prodigals and says, when our prodigals do come home, pray that they meet the father first and not the elder brother! But this is not just for other people. We suddenly see that the dirty, tear-stained face coming down the road is our face. And then we discover what, deep in our heart, we knew all along: we are the prodigal.
When Homosexuality Hits Home by Joe Dallas

Every Man’s Battle by Steve Arterburn, Fred Stoeker and Mike Yorkey
When Every Man's Battle first hit bookstores in the summer of 2000, the landscape of Christian books was very different tha it is today. No one was sure if the market was ready to accept a book that talked openly about men's struggles with lust and sexual temptation. But the market responded and since then, no other book has had nearly the impact in the "arsenal of resistance." And as the assault of sensuality has only increased, this book has grown ever more important. By shattering misconceived notions and preconceptions, this book continues to help men and women, save their marriages, and recover their witness from the failures that dot the landscape inside and outside the church today.
Wild At Heart by John Eldredge
Every man was once a boy. And every little boy has dreams, big dreams, dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty. But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are . . . bored.
