Called to War

The Christian radio talk show host asked the well-knownwomen's ministry leader the question, "e;So what do you think about the statementthat men in the church have been feminized?"e; Her immediate response was, "e;Itotally disagree. Men in America have not been feminized at all...they have beenemasculated. Men don't feel a need to be more like women...they just have losttheir identity as men."e;This book begins with the true story told by awashed up minister whom God forgave, healed, restored, and reenlisted in hisservice. The real story lies, however, with a few men who, discontented withthe detachment of men in their church and inspired by the Holy Spirit,discovered a pathway to reengagement as God's man in this hour ... or maybe realengagement for the very first time.
