All Man

Description

Sexual Integrity | Relationships | Identity

A practical guide for males of every age, helping them pursue meaningful goals, gain victory over sin, and cultivate lasting relationships.

For many men, sexual pleasure and fantasy can become a refuge from life’s pressures, fears, and insecurities. In All Man, Dr. Roy Smith draws on more than forty years of counseling men to confront the personal and relational damage that comes from misused sexuality. In a culture that often portrays men as aggressive and driven only by desire, this book points to a God-centered path of growth and restoration. Dr. Smith shows how genuine strength, confidence, and healthy sexuality are formed through a man’s spiritual identity—not destructive habits. All Man is a call to change, offering hope and practical guidance for men to live as God designed: fully alive and truly man.

All Man by Dr. Roy Smith is a Christian discipleship book that addresses how men understand masculinity, sexuality, and spiritual identity. Drawing from decades of counseling experience, Smith argues that many men turn to lust, pornography, and sexual fantasy not simply for pleasure, but as a way to cope with insecurity, shame, stress, and emotional pain. While culture often defines manhood by dominance, performance, or sexual conquest, he explains that these patterns ultimately leave men empty and damage their relationship with God, themselves, and others.

The book teaches that sexuality is not the problem—misdirected identity is. According to Smith, when a man’s worth is rooted in achievement, approval, or desire, he becomes trapped in destructive cycles. True masculinity, he says, begins when a man understands who he is before God. Through repentance, accountability, honesty, and spiritual discipline, men can break patterns of sexual sin and replace them with integrity and self-control.

Smith emphasizes practical steps: confession, mentoring relationships, renewed thinking, boundaries, and a deeper walk with Christ. As a man’s spiritual life grows, his confidence, emotional health, and relationships—especially with his wife and family—are restored.

Overall, All Man is a call to transformation. It presents manhood not as toughness or sexual power, but as spiritual strength, responsibility, humility, and sacrificial love—living as the man God created him to be.

Recommendation: This book encourages fathers and mentors to go through the chapters with their young men. Each chapter ends with a manhood challenge and discussion questions that invite readers to establish their own principles and personalize their faith.
