"As a participant and facilitator of this study for 8 years, I can honestly say that there has not ever been a more meaningful study of God's word for me. The study has made the both the Old and New Testament more immediately relevant to me and has encouraged me to seek greater truth about myself. I am so thankful for this process and look forward to sharing this continued journey of discovery with my brothers in Christ!"
Randy, 52

Here is what men who have been in Bible/Man Circles say about the impact it has had on their lives:
"This process has allowed me to be emotionally vulnerable and still maintain self-control, to trust other men, to be honest with myself and before God. I've had, and seen other men have, large positive changes in their self-image, which translates directly into stronger relationships here on earth and with Heaven. There is no question in my mind that this is a program worth your time and involvement."
Dave, 58
"What I discovered as a result of being a part of this study changed my life. I will use the techniques I gained for the rest of my life. I would strongly encourage every man to participate in this process. This is something that I have shared with others in my life and it NEVER fails to bring clarity. As disciples of Christ, we are all undergoing the process of sanctification. Many of things we pursue, hoping to experience a change, leave us wanting. It delivers. I am a better man, my walk with Christ is stronger than ever and I am a part of a band of brothers who truly sharpen one another."
Tony, 53
"This men's group provided a safe outlet to understand why I felt the way I did, and to intentionally separate the data, judgments, and feelings that influenced my life. I have prayed for Gods knowledge, the strength to handle life's trials, and the self-control to trust God's plan and timing. The answers I prayed for were right before me and I needed to see and accept them to become a better Christian, father, and husband. My relationships with God, my brothers in Christ, wife, and kids are stronger as a result of the work I brought to men's group and implemented in my daily life. I wish I had access to this information when I was younger."
Mike, 39

Why I wrote this book
All my adult life I’ve been in men’s groups. I’ve been in church men’s groups as well as non-church men’s groups. I’ve participated in groups that were exciting and impactful, and I’ve also seen it when they are as boring as reading the dictionary out loud.
Between you and me, I greatly prefer the exciting and impactful kind!
Unfortunately, the exciting and impactful men’s groups are hard to find. Too often I found myself in a group of men who didn’t want to be there, didn’t want to change or grow, and who were content giving the churchy answer
without looking at their own heart. This kind of group just dragged me down.
Out of a sense of desperation, this study was born. It created a format that I thought would be engaging, real and exciting. My sincere prayer was that this would become the men’s group I desperately wanted to be a part of.
From the first week that a group of over 20 men gathered to participate in the inaugural meeting, the study was more than I could have imagined. It just worked. The men could not remain passive. They were engaged and impacted and transformed.
I don’t want you to take my word on this. I’ve included the stories of some of the men who participated. They saw and felt what happened. It was big. It was powerful. It left us all changed.
Over the years, I’ve gone back to this program again and again. Each time it delivers results. It finds a way into men’s hearts, even when they are shut down, hard and calloused.
I’m writing this book to share what I’ve found. It is my hope that you will be inspired and challenged to try it with men around you. I truly hope that my story will inspire you to try something new, and that this book will give you the tools you need to make it happen.
