Bull

Description

Every male has the potential to become a real man. But in order to do so, he must learn to understand his spiritual journey with God and make his own decisions about his relationship with Jesus Christ. Bull challenges young males to look at life differently and helps them develop into all God has intended them to be.

Drawing from decades of counseling and mentoring males, the author walks readers through the internal struggles young men commonly face:

• Identity
• Peer pressure
• Sexual temptation
• Anger
• Passivity
• Desire for approval

This practical and spiritually grounded guide to manhood is written especially for teenage boys and young men who are trying to figure out who they are and who they are meant to become. Rather than offering shallow cultural definitions of masculinity, this book presents manhood as a purposeful journey shaped by character, responsibility, and a growing relationship with God.

Bull also emphasizes that boys do not become men automatically; they become men through guidance, mentoring, and intentional decisions. For that reason, the book encourages fathers, mentors, and leaders to actively guide younger males, helping them understand responsibility, relationships, and faith. Ultimately, Smith presents real manhood not as dominance or toughness, but as strength under control — a life anchored in Christ, lived with purpose, and expressed through service to others.

Recommendation: Bull encourages fathers and mentors to guide young men through the process of discovering what it means to be a real man. At the end of each chapter, discussion questions are provided to encourage open and honest conversations between both generations about their thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.
