With a mega-church pastor and a
football player as the authors, I expected a bigger win. The Real
Win: A Man’s Quest for Authentic Success has the all of right ingredients, but
somehow when the plate is put on the table, it seems like something is
missing.
Having said
that, the authors do a good job of defining winning, and helping the reader to
realize that the things that we might think matter, are really only temporary, and
usually don’t have an eternal impact. Then they set out to show us what the real
win involves, and how to make the difference that really matters.
It takes
more than what the world might call a success to make the kind of man that God is
interested in raising up, and it was a painful reminder to read several of the chapters
and see where I could and should be doing a much better job.
Idols and temptations
get in the way of our having a real relationship with God, and then there are
the things that we’re not doing – men are not leading their families like God has
ordained, we forget that God is still God even when we’re at work, and how are
we really doing at loving our wives like Christ loved the church.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest
review. I was not required to write something positive.
4/5
