A man who was used by God on the outside - until God broke him on the inside.
Craig Starley was raised Jewish and never knew what it meant to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. For 19 years he served at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale, where God gave him a relentless desire to share the Gospel with every person he met.
Then came the darkest season of his life - a divorce. And in it, God showed him that his life was just as messed up as anyone else's. That no matter how many times God used him publicly, he was still as much a sinner as the next man.
"When we as men are willing to admit we bring nothing to God to use but us as a broken vessel, God says this is the kind a man that I can use"
For the past eleven years that has been Craig's call: helping men become open, transparent, and real before God and one another - because that is when a man finally becomes a real man of God.
Being a Godly Man in a Godless World
A scriptural blueprint for the man who's truly seeking to live a life representing Christ while living in a sinful world. Through the lives of broken, ordinary men God used in extraordinary ways, Craig Starley walks you back to the only true Man - Jesus - and the kind of life that builds a legacy.

I wish I would have read this when I was younger. Craig pieced together the men of the Bible in a way that I could finally see myself in them - and see how to apply it.
The combination of God's Word, real men's lives, and how it applies to me was done in a perfect way. I bought this for every man in my family.
The challenging questions at the end of each chapter are what set this book apart from every other book on manhood I've read.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
