Rating: Summary: Are You Honest Enough to Look in the Mirror? Review: It's been a long time since I've read a book that is honest, biblical, practical, and pulls no punches in dealing with the daily struggles that men face. Morley has done a wonderful job in each of these short chapters of facing tough issues head-on. In the book, you will find honest and frank discussions of the following topics: Relationships with family, relationships with friends, dealing with anger, our attitudes at the workplace, finances, our thought lives, and much more. Each chapter has questions for consideration (or discussion if the book is used in group study). R. C. Sproul says in the book's introduction that the book should be read by the wife after the husband has read it, but don't let the wife read it BEFORE the husband! Read it, men, and you'll know why. This book is essential for men who want to grow spiritually.
Rating: Summary: Men - you need this 'mirror'. Review: Man in the Mirror is a must buy and must read. It is for men with any shape and size and especially suitable for the Asian market too. I thought this was for just the western people but once i got to the first page,i was glue to it. Patrick Morley gets a "high 10'.Man, if you are considering a book for this century, grab this one and make it your personal diary. If you, like me,from an asian country,grab it and read it. Man in the Mirror is not about how beautiful you look ...it is how 'macho' you are on the inside and i challenge you to take the test and read this book ..., man in the mirror is not about how our face looks in the mirror rather it is how we face the road of life. Happy reading.

Rating: Summary: Getting Balanced Review: Pat Morley takes everyday issues men face(work, family, money, leisure, relationships, etc.) and challenges us to think about true meaning in life from a Biblical perspective. Practical stories of other mens struggles along with Pat's life stories will encourage you to find balance in life. This book is a must! It's short chapter reading that is to the point. Practical questions at the end of each chapter can be used to spark great discussions in both large and small group interactions.
Rating: Summary: Something that catches you Review: Pat Morley writes in a style that others sometimes mistake for a bygone era. Some mistakenly think that Pat is a fundamentalist because he uses thematic messages that are biblical in context. Pat Morley is full of surprises however. That is what makes his writing and his message unique. Just when you think you've stumbled upon another neolithic bible thumper, He will surprise you with a twist that you are not expecting. Pat Morley is an original thinker. It is fascinating and worthwhile reading precisely because you will be challenged. Too many are looking for feel good confirmation of their own prior dispositions. Critical thinking depends upon a willingness to be challenged and to develop the strength to stand upon your convictions. Pat's work will help you do just that.
Rating: Summary: Looking at the Man In the Mirror Review: The Man In The Mirror was a very moving and revealing book that hits the heart of all men who would take the time to read it. Patrick Morley has hit the nail on the head when it comes to dealing with men's issues and how they relate to God. I was moved closer to God by reading this book and feel any man who is earnestly seeking God's will for his life or trying to find a meaning to his life, will have the tools from this book to do so. I am encouraged to find another man who has the guts to tell it like it is! Praise be to God for Patrick Morley and his book. I pray all men will take the time to read it and be changed.....in a good way!
Rating: Summary: A great resource for men's ministry Review: This book is a perennial favorite of mine. I have used it for more than 10 years in men's ministry. What surprised me was that when I recently re-read the book, it was just as relevant as when I bought the hardback at its debut. This book will certainly become a 'classic' for men's groups.
Rating: Summary: A book for men who want more from life Review: This book sets out in straightforward and practical terms how men struggle in many vital areas of life. The great thing about the book for me is that it not only provides biblical backing for what he has to say, but it is also very practical. You will be left in little doubt about what you need to do in key areas of your life to lead a valuable and eternally important existance here on earth. Only read this book if you are serious about leading a life that will get you to closer to God and His will for your life.
Rating: Summary: A wake up call Review: This book truly challenges the christian mans complacency in his walk with the lord and at the same time strengthens it and reviews it. I truly looked at my walk in a whole new diffrent manner after reading Mr. Morleys facinating look into the secret thoughts, mind, and sin of christian men in our time. Not for the faint hearted!
Rating: Summary: Fantastic book for individuals or small groups Review: This is a superb book for the man who is trying to lead a Christian life in these trying times. Morley is direct and to the point and forces you to take a long hard look at yourself. I would recommend it for any man seaching for some words of wisdom and encouragement.
