A Few Good Men

by Richard Coekin

A Few Good Men presents the reader with 10 positive role models from the Bible. From Obedient Noah to Loyal Onesiphorous, these character sketches combine dramatic story-telling with challenging and insightful comment. What kind of man do you want to be? Who do you admire? Rugged sportsmen, smooth film stars and wild rock musicians all compete for our admiration. But are these men the role models that we should aspire to be? Solidly founded on biblical narrative, these chapters will challenge and inspire readers to examine the struggles and temptations of these biblical men who face the same struggles that men still face today.

Helpful book looking at some of the characters of men in the Bible and ultimately seeing that Jesus is better than any of them,

Great read! Richard Coekin articulates the significant story of Men in the Bible excellently. Very inspiring to understand and be able to apply the practices of men listed by Richard. Certainly a book to enhance Godly manhood for today’s Men!

[Ian Rees · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book aimed at the guys. A selection of Bible men and their attributes, told in a variety of ways to bring out the need for guys today to get their act together spiritually. It ends with the way that each of these men points us to the one perfect man, Jesus Christ. Recommended.
