Patrick Morley, author of the best-seller The Man in the Mirror (Zondervan), targets pastors dealing with men’s ministry challenges and opportunities in Pastoring Men: What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why It Matters Now More Than Ever (978-0-802-47553-4, $19.99, Moody Publishers), releasing this month.

The book includes personal stories, point-by-point plans for implementation and statistics to drive home the need for focused men’s ministry in the local church.

“Men have become one of our largest neglected groups,” Morley writes in the opening chapter. “As a result, they are prone to get caught up in the rat race, lead unexamined lives, and become cultural (rather than biblical) Christians.”

Morley distinguishes his book by stressing to church leadership that it’s about the need to “effectively pastor all of your men,” leaving no man behind.
“Men’s ministry needs to be redefined so that it is all-inclusive,” he writes.
“Each week a man will spend roughly half of his 112 waking hours working,” he says. “Yet most men do not have a good ‘theology of work.’ Teach your men a theology of work.”

Moody will promote the book in partnership with Morley’s Man in the Mirror ministries, including his show on Moody Radio and Internet promotion through sites reaching more than 50,000 pastors.
