Review
“I am so weary of the peculiar therapeutic atmosphere in which we live today that is scared stiff to tell anybody to do anything or to warn anybody of dangerous consequences of failing to take responsibility for his or her life. So to find someone taking seriously the biblical call for ‘agonizing to enter the kingdom’ and striving like a gymnast to become godly and boxing and sweating like a champion to get victory over sin is the most refreshing thing I could have set my eyes on.”
―John Piper, Founder and Teacher, desiringGod.org; Chancellor, Bethlehem College & Seminary; author, Desiring God
“Every Christian man, whether a new believer or a mature Christian, will be challenged again and again by this remarkably wise and fascinating book. Kent Hughes skillfully weaves together the teachings of Scripture with real-life examples as he powerfully teaches us what true Christian manhood looks like in the ordinary details of our lives. I highly recommend this update of a book that is becoming a Christian classic.”
―Wayne Grudem, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary
“Discipline is a subject about which the Scriptures say much―but contemporary authors have been peculiarly silent. Kent Hughes fills a gaping void with this superb volume. You’ll be challenged and encouraged as you read. And if there is a spark of spiritual desire in your soul, this book will surely kindle it into a blazing passion for godly discipline.”
―John MacArthur, LatePastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California
“There are some books, though very few, that remain ‘evergreen’―that through the years remain as useful and challenging as the day they were written. There’s little doubt that Disciplines of a Godly Man is one of these. For that reason, I’m delighted to see it just so slightly refreshed as it’s prepared to challenge a whole new generation of men with its biblical principles and timeless wisdom. I trust it will prove itself as edifying to them as it has to me and so many others.”
―Tim Challies, author, Seasons of Sorrow
“The best contemporary book of spiritual guidance I’ve read in a long time. Usually for this type of food I have to look for a book that is at least seventy-five years old. This book is a surprising exception. And it has the added advantage of being very relevant to specific needs in today’s world.”
―Ajith Fernando, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka; author, Discipling in a Multicultural World
“This is one of the best books I’ve read. What an outstanding volume! I guarantee: Digest this book and you will bid the blahs farewell.”
―Charles Swindoll, pastor; best-selling author

Review:
5.0 out of 5 stars Must read book for men
My Rating - Must ReadLevel - Fairly easy read, moderate lengthSummaryAs the title implies, this is a book about disciplines for men who are trying to live a 'Godly' life. After the introduction Hughes goes into the 17 disciplines he has identified as needed for men. He breaks these into four broad categories -Relationships - which he identifies as the disciplines of purity, marriage, fatherhood, and friendship. He uses the story of David to illustrate the importance of purity. Originally written in 1991 and revised in 2001, there is the noticeable lack of discussion of internet porn. It seems almost funny (naive?) that he would warn about magazines like Playboy, which doesn't even have nudity anymore. The chapters on marriage and fatherhood are about what you'd expect, though I think he does a good job of warning fathers not to be too harsh in punishment; something often quite lacking in the Christian world. He finishes this section with a chapter on friendship. This was a challenging chapter and a topic I think is often overlooked.Soul - mind, devotion, prayer, and worship. Mind, encourages us to watch out mental intake. He points out the statistics of the amount of TV people watch on a daily basis as compared to the relatively small amount spent reading. He isn't opposed to TV, just points out that for the most part, it is there just to kill time, and recommends different things to read instead - Scripture and Christian literature. Devotion, he breaks down into meditation (on the word), confession, and adoration. Prayer and worship are also as you'd expect, worship being specifically about importance of corporate worship.Character - integrity, tongue, work, and perseverance. Being a man of integrity and clean speech are fairly typical, but the work aspect is unique. I found it especially telling that he would put a chapter on the importance of working in the character section of the book, and after reading the chapter and his arguments, one I fully agree with. The chapter on perseverance was also a new idea to me. His general point is that things aren't easy, and it takes time to accomplish things, and often it is hard just to keep going. This chapter is a short, but helpful, call to focus on what God has laid out for you and to continue on the path.Ministry - church, leadership, giving, witness, and ministry. Again, chapters like being involved in church, giving money, and witnessing (evangelism) are typical and as expected. Leadership is another short chapter that bring a different perspective, but something that is important for men especially. We are all called to be leadership in one aspect or another, work, family, the church, etc. He rounds out the section on ministry with a chapter about, well, ministry. By this he means the importance of actually doing something. Be involved, be willing to be uncomfortable, to be challenged, and to fail, if all for the glory of Christ.Finally, there is a short epilogue with a concluding argument for the importance of Godly discipline and the correct response to grace God has given us. The book is then packed with another 50 pages or so of 'resources' including the hilariously dated 'Bible on Audiocassette', which, honestly, I'm surprised made it into the updated version (the word is so old that my spell-checker is telling me I have it spelled incorrectly). There are also Bible reading plans (including M'Cheyne, which I recommend), helpful Proverbs regarding speech, hymns, choruses, and praise Psalms. As a reading nerd, the most interesting resource to me was his reading survey. He asks a number of well known evangelicals questions regarding their favorite books. This in itself is probably worth the price of the book, and I should probably make it it's own post.Last note on the book, the cover clearly states that there is a complete study guide. This is not what you are probably expecting (unless there was a shipping error and I didn't receive some sort of stand alone guide), as there isn't a dedicated 'study guide' section. Instead, at the end of each chapter, are some thoughts and discussion questions.My ThoughtsOverall, I really enjoyed this book. Written very well in general, it especially pastoral in practice and effect. The typical disciplines you see (not a negative, they are always written about because they clearly Biblical and obviously important) written about are handled well, but the strength of this books comes from some of the other chapters that tackles things you don't always see, such as friendship and work.I'd say this is probably the best book on disciplines I've read so far. One major down side is that, obviously, it is mostly geared to men. Some chapters are universal disciplines, but are written about from man's perspective, and some chapters are specifically for men. That being said, if you have a father, a son, a husband, or really just any man, this book is a must read on the disciplines that God expects of you.More at [...]
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect gift for any man! Great introduction for the men who aren’t saved.
My husband is ambitious about getting into the framework this book provides for becoming a Godly man. I used to have to remind him often when he was being attacked, spiritually, by Satan and evil. This book gives scriptures, tools, scripture and spiritual strength to defeat Satan’s attempts. The attempts at destroying and stealing anything and everything from the Holy Man desiring to be like Christ
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy read, solid book!
I haven't finished it yet but this book is packed with solid, Scripture-rooted instruction for men who want to grow in godliness in every area of life. Each chapter is both convicting and practical—definitely one to read with a highlighter in hand and a heart ready for transformation.
5.0 out of 5 stars Disciplines of a Godly Man is not just a book
Disciplines of a Godly Man has really impacted me. It’s one of those books that doesn’t just give you information, it makes you reflect deeply on who you are and who you’re becoming as a man of God.What stood out the most to me was how it talks about the importance of marriage, fatherhood, and being a leader. It reminded me that these roles aren’t just responsibilities, they’re God-given callings. The way the author breaks things down really challenged me to look at how I’m showing up in my home, in my faith, and in the way I lead.This book doesn’t sugarcoat anything. It pushes you to grow. It made me think about areas in my life where I’ve gotten too comfortable or passive, and how much more intentional I need to be in pursuing God and leading my family.I honestly recommend this book to every man, whether you’re newly walking with God or have been for years. It’s real, biblical, and full of practical insight that we all need.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great delivery, Great Book
Book is fantastic. delivered safely and no damage. I recommend from ages 18-35 as to most men who might read this would be in this age group. The topics include some spiritual disciplines each different per chapter. I like how the start of the first part of the book is with relationships, mental awareness and discipline, and more. Great read for men who want to be role models and great for men who aim to improve their desire to become father someday. (like myself). The lord himself is a father and desires a relationship and as men we need to be disciplined in our resolve to be like him. Something I learned while reading the book.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great read for spiritual growth
Thoughtful and challenging in the best way. It’s written in a relatable tone and gives practical steps for living with purpose. Highly recommend for anyone looking to grow in faith.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book.

Awesome and helpful book!!
BESTES BUCH EVER!
Es gibt schon viele Bücher zu Lifstyle, Lebensberatung, Mentoring, Führung...aber meistens so viel Schrott und Mischmasch, zumindest im deutschen Sprachraum. Aber das Buch hier, ist das beste was ich je gelesen habe! Also ich finde es sollte jeder, am besten schon im Teenagealter mal lesen bzw. gelesen haben, da sowas in unserer Gesellschaft und auch teilweise Familie einfach nicht mehr vorgelebt wird oder gelehrt wird (es gibt aber auch noch eine Version für Junge Leute, bin aber selber Student und bin über glücklich dieses Buch gefunden zu haben!). Also wenn du keine Ahnung hast, was einen perfekten..einen göttlichen, einen voll maskulinen Mann ausmacht, schmeiss Men's Health weg, das hier ist das Ultimative, mit allem drum und dran. Also mein Leben hat es von Grund auf verändert und ist immer noch in Arbeit. Habe schon einige davon weitergegeben an Geschwister und Freunde...ich sag nur BESTE BESTE BESTE!
