Resource
| | Mobilizing Men for One-on-One Ministry: The Transforming Power of Authentic Friendship and Discipleship
Steve Sonderman, Men's Pastor at Elmbrook Church in Brookfield WI and veteran leader in the Christian men's movement, comes out this week with the above titled book. He rightly holds that most effective
ministry to men is relational rather than programmatic. Drawing examples from the
successes at his and other churches, Steve shows pastors and men's leaders how to
motivate and mobilize their men to minister to each other. You'll learn
what men are looking for, how we grow spiritually, and how to
develop a leadership pipeline in our churches. AMAZON

WACMM's Trivia Challenge Answer
 In our last issue we posed this trivia challenge: "He's been married to his first wife for 27 years and has
four children, the oldest a former NFL player. He's the son of preacher and an active member of his Los Angeles
church for 30 years. He reads the Bible everyday and is on his fourth time
reading it cover to cover.
He's said skill, connections, techniques won't get you through
life but his Christian faith, not circumstances, determines his happiness. He's an
Oscar winning superstar whose movies have grossed $3 billion worldwide. Near the end of his
latest critically acclaimed movie, which is replete with biblical quotations and
imagery, he has his character quoting the 2 Timothy 4:7 passage: "I have
fought the good fight ... I have kept the faith." Who is this man who has
been called one of Hollywood's highest profile Christians? " ANSWER: Denzel Washington (BTW, the movie mentioned is The Book of Eli)) WINNERS: The first ten men to respond with the correct answer were : Mark Sigsbee, Scott Brindley, Marty Bruns, Kirk Thompson, Ted Plemons, Jim Maynard, Rob Furlong, Joe Short, Phil Jensen, and Rich Murphy.

New Man Magazine Features WACMM Article
"We know that as go the men, so go the marriages, families, churches,
communities and culture. Today these institutions are in crisis because
men are in crisis...Men
are largely disengaged, unchallenged, under-led, discouraged, and
disconnected. Often there seems little difference between the lives
secular men live and those of men who call themselves Christians. Why do
so many men in the church go through the motions of Christianity? The
answer follows along two fault lines." READ MORE-------------------------------------------------- |
Magazine Says "End of Men" at Hand
 Atlantic Monthly magazine recently carried a cover story entitled "End of Men? How Women Are Taking Control of Everything", by Hannah Rosin. Rosin contends that because of the post-industrial economy, for the first time in human history, women are becoming the dominant sex with "shocking speed". Recently on the Stephen Colbert Show Rosin confessed it might be a good idea for more men to become nannies and nurses. Albert Mohler, President of Southern Baptist Seminary, responded to the cover story with the following article which requires the serious attention of the Church, especially its pastors and men: ."
