  <default_description>No More Christian Nice Guy showed you the eye-opening truth about Christian men becoming more and more passive, rarely recognizing how often they let themselves get walked on, and how being a doormat hurts their marriage and chances of getting married. Note: When you submit to what other people think you should be, you are seen as a Nice Guy. But Jesus wasn't a Nice Guy. He told it like it was. Jesus was a Good Guy. He was a real man. Always being agreeable only opens the door to opportunities to be lied to and manipulated by others. It's true; nice guys aren't always nice. This Study Guide dives deeper into the Nice Guy problem, helping you discover the true biblical model of manhood. Each chapter contains several exercises to help you move from passivity to assertiveness, plus a bevy of bonus information, including additional help for single Christian Nice Guys, which provides insights into the Christian Nice Guy problem not found in No More Christian Nice Guy. So join the Good Guy Rebellion and start living your life as a Christian Good Guy. Suggestions for small-group leaders make this suitable for use in groups or on your own.</default_description>

Parts of it made me very angry at Paul, since it seems like he's blaming women and the Women's Rights Movement of the 60's and 70's for a lot of what he sees is wrong with guys nowadays.

Thompson">wild at heart</a>&quot; in subject matter, but he seems to take the aspect of men being &quot;bold and offensive&quot; a little too far. He seems to care more about not being pushed around than he does being like Christ. Still good for any Christian man to read. <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3221203">more...</a>]]></body>
