From bestselling author and scholar Robert L. Millet, this book is for the beloved sons of our Heavenly Father—husbands, fathers, sons, ministers, and friends—who have chosen to commit their hearts and lives to living the gospel and following our Savior, Jesus Christ. In today’s world, it’s easy for men to become distracted or confused about their divine worth, purpose, and mission. But those who have chosen to bear the holy priesthood must have a clear understanding and vision of what it means to take on the Savior’s name and serve His children. In so doing, they can not only fulfill their God-given responsibilities but also find peace and confidence in walking a godly path. This book explores specific principles and how they relate to the men in the Church, including prayer, faith, marriage, and the oath and covenant of the priesthood. Drawing on scripture, the words of the prophets, and personal experiences, Millet offers guidance on how men can better act on their desires to be loving husbands and fathers, generous friends and neighbors, and dependable representatives of our Savior—in other words, to be men of God .

So many 4 and 5 star reviews, I feel I must explain myself. Subject is 5 stars. Great reminders and encouragement. However, writing style is 3 stars, tops. I just had a hard time getting into it. I felt like many ideas are repeated or drawn out unnecessarily.
I really like Brother Millett. He teaches with clarity. I enjoyed this book but most of it was simply a repeat of excerpts from earlier books. I wanted more original messaging.
