Summary: Only 24 Problems?
Review: What a thoughtful, practical first step in the right direction. At first I thought "popcorn theology". I was wrong and very pleased with the insights and the honest to goodness help that I found in the book. I have started to find a success that really matters. Thanks Pat Morley.

Summary: A Plan for an Unrealistic Life
Review: When I bought the book, I thought R.C. Sproul was the co-author. He is not, he only wrote the introduction. It is sad that R.C., whom I admire, has sponsored this weak book.
The recommendations are o.k., and there is only common-sense christianity in the book. However, the book is oriented only to men who have minor problems, like "what will I do with my lots of money", or "how much time should I spend with my kids".
This is the kind of fleshy "how-to's" directed to men in the First World who really don't have many problems, exactly the kind of guy the author is, millionaire, well-succeeded, etc.
There is not even one mention about big problems, like the death of someone loved, about big mistakes made in life (like a child out of wedlock, e.g.), unemployment, in summary, all those problems that make us feel that God is not there to help us (I know He is).
Therefore, if you are looking for something deeper and with more substance than this "vanilla ice cream" book for christian yuppies, skip this one.

Summary: Good Read for Christian Basics
Review: While Morley's book is hardly the kind for intellectuals and those who desire Tozer, Murray, and other deeper-life writers, the title is a good read for those who wish to be grounded in the basics of Christianity.Since each chapter is around 10 pages and covers a wide variety of topics, the book is appropriate for a small men's group or for your own personal reading. Among the topics Morley covers are: 1. God has a purpose for your life and a direction He wants you to go.
2. Principles for redefining what we need for job contentment.
3. We fear because we do not fully trust God.
4. Depend on God or you will be miserable!
5. No secrets are kept from God - He knows everything about us.
6. We can have a victorious thought life if we allow the Holy Spirit to have control in our lives.
7. Guidelines for dealing with anger.
8. Success at the office is not worth sacrificing important relationships. As mentioned earlier, the book is tailored more towards those who with to be grounded in the basics of Christianity. However, those of us who are more mature Christians do occasionally have the need to be reminded of the basics lest we let arrogance get the best of us. All in all, a good and recommended read.

Summary: Great book for ALL Men...
Review: Who are we? (Men) This book brings light to the question of who we are and what we should be. The title is slightly deceptive since it really doesn't 'Solve' the 24 problems men face, but it does address them and then responsibilty lies with the reader and God to do the solving (and it will if you give it a chance.) An Excellent read; although lengthy, each chapter is managable and filled with cleaver, pertinent stories and related scripture. This book has made me feel better about myself by defining who I am and where I fit in with God, my wife, and the World. Every man should read this book, IT WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER MAN!
