Season of Life: a football star, a boy, a journey to manhood
by Jeffrey Marx
From
www.seasonoflife.com:
"More than a quarter-century after they first knew each other
as a professional football star and a ball boy for the Baltimore
Colts, Joe Ehrmann and Jeffrey Marx once again crossed paths.
The outcome was a remarkable journey through the greatest football
season of all. It was really a season of life more than
anything else.
Joe was now a white-haired minister who also coached high school
football and ran a program called Building Men for Others. He
was changing lives by teaching boys how to be men of substance
and impact by focusing on relationships and a cause beyond themselves.
Jeffrey quickly realized there was much to learn from his old
friend. But he never could have foreseen the gift of his own
transformative experience. He never could have imagined that
Joe would ultimately help him open doors to his own Dad."

No Man Left Behind: How to Build and Sustain
a Thriving,
Disciple Making Ministry for Every Man in Your Church
by Patrick Morely, David Delk
and Brett Clemmer
You’ve got men, you’ve got a church. Add a
testimony, some pancakes, a prayer, and —poof!— a men’s ministry.
Right?
A spiritual reformation of society starts
with a spiritual reformation of men. But making disciples, men
who are walking with Christ, living like Christ, and working
for Christ is hard. If you’ve been struggling to get traction
with men, No Man Left Behind can revolutionize
your efforts. Drawing upon thirty years of research and work
with more than 2,500 churches, the authors offer a proven strategy
that will help you disciple every man in your church.
Find out how to:
- Shift your paradigm from a men’s ministry to a ministry to all your men.
- Identify the unwritten “man code” that your church conveys to every guy who walks in the door.
- Ensure long-term success by recruiting allies who will work with you to make disciples.
- Develop a concrete, seamless process to help men who don’t know Christ become passionate disciples.
