Old Man, New Man: Closing the gap between the life you could live and the life you are living

Stephen Strang, publisher of New Man magazine, draws upon his unique experience as a journalist on the front lines of men's issues to write Old Man New Man, a frank Christ-centered guide to help you close the gap between the life you could live and the life you are living. Old Man New Man addresses the deeply personal habits that can make or break a man--financial stress, marital tension, sexual temptation and the challenge of forming lifelong relationships--and it is filled with compelling stories and God's transforming response. MEN--YOU can now discover how to: ?Break old habits ?Find your true purpose ?Renew your mind ?Attain sexual purity ?Heal the "father-wound" in your heart ?Make your marriage great ?Get closer to your children ?Care for your body Review "Here's a book for men who desire to be the covenant men God created them to be." --Dr. Edwin Louis Cole, President and Founder, Christian Men's Network"Stephen Strang goes 'where no man has gone before' by addressing issues that are important to men that no one seems to want to talk about." --D. Scott Plakon, President, Nationwide Publishing Company, Inc."This is the most thoroughgoing book on moving forward in manhood you'll find anywhere." --Dr. Jack Hayford, Founding Pastor, The Church On The Way"WOW!

By purchasing this book, you can also receive a free one-year subscription to New Man magazine by returning it's enclosed card.Now, the book becomes interactive through the Internet. In the text there are icons that list the web address and some area being dealt with such as "Find Help For Sexual Addictions." It is an indication there is something on the website about what is being discussed in the chapter. Think of it as a print version of a hyperlink. You will be able to access much more information than we were able to cram into the 337 pages of this book. A NOTE TO ANY WOMEN READERS: This is a book for men. It is NOT a book for women. That is not to say some women will not read the book anyway. You may be one of them. But be forewarned; 'men look at things differently than women do.' They process things differently. The problem is that many men struggle with some very serious issues. They have no one to talk to or to show the way. They struggle in silence until one day they snap and do something really weird like abusing the ones they love or even abandoning the family altogether. Would it not be good if we could help those men before it's too late? No book has all the answers. But I hope this book will give men a few answers to point them to Jesus. I have tried to make clear that there is a life in God where there is victory over what the Bible calls the "old man." This book is written to men from a male perspective to offer hope. So, woman reader, please remember this: If this book helps the men in your life, then ultimately it will also be of great help to you in your relationships with those men. -Stephen Strang, Publisher and Author From the Author For the past twenty-five years, I have been a magazine editor and publisher, so I have learned to write for the "skip and jump" reader, including the ones who begin at the inside back page and read the magazine backwards, stopping to read whatever catches their eye.We have tried to make this book easy to read, from the short sentences and paragraphs of newspaper style, to the type font we chose, to the way we laid out each chapter. Throughout the book we pulled interesting quotes to grab you as you thumb through the pages. We laid it out in three easy-to-follow sections that outline the problem, present the solution and then tell you how to get your act together. I have tried to open my heart and life in a way that may help you on your odyssey toward becoming a n
