Christian nice guys believe in a gentle Jesus meek and mild. Coughlin sets the record straight: a complete man who can be both gentle and bold is Jesus. Recovering nice guy Paul Coughlin points the way for all men who yearn to live a life of boldness and conviction - like Jesus. Using humorous examples from his own life, powerful and poignant stories, and vivid examples from contemporary culture, Coughlin shows how he learned to say no to the nice guy syndrome. After all, Christian nice guys aren't always so nice. In the name of appearing Christian by being agreeable, they can lie, keep secrets, manipulate, duck responsibility, and much more. Using the biblical model of Christ as his example of a real man, Coughlin shows men how to become both gentle and bold. A powerful challenge and a hopeful message that elevates the true biblical model of manhood above prevailing views in the church and contemporary culture, this important book helps men discover who they are in Christ and how to live for Him.

Review:

"I applaud Paul's important work to help us realize what a real man is all about."

From the Back Cover:

It's Time to Be Who You Were Meant to Be

Tired of seeking other people's approval? Fed up with being passive, fearful, and anxious when you wish you were assertive and proactive?

Paul Coughlin shows how men can say no to the "nice guy" syndrome and yes to a life of boldness and conviction--like Jesus lived. This radical and hopeful message elevates the true biblical model of manhood above the prevailing views of church and culture.

Part inspiration, part instruction, and part manifesto, this book has been changing lives since it was first published. In this revised and expanded edition, Coughlin shares vital insights on the changes he's seen in churches and the greater culture. He also looks at the shifting expectations men face in relationships and in the workplace, and how younger Christians, in particular, are subject to harmful views about masculinity.

If you're a Nice Guy, that's not the real you. There's something and someone stronger and better inside you who's waiting to be vitalized and released.

"This book is a road map to a larger life."--David Murrow, author of Why Men Hate Going to Church
