Gideon's Cry

Gideon's cry offers a unique view on growing up and reaching the elusive goal of manhood. It follows the journey of Gideon found in the Bible in Judges 6-8, looking closely at how God raised him up as a strong man on a vital mission. Interspersed with biblical lessons from this passage are pieces of the author's own story of trying to grow up and learn how to be a man of faith. These stories encourage young believers and searchers that they are not alone but are walking a road that has been walked for thousands of years and still is being traversed today. The journey of manhood begins in a world of fear and uncertainty, but when God intersects this world, things start to happen. He helps us move beyond our self-doubt, apathy, and timidity into a life of increasing action, power, and intimacy with the Lord as He works in and through us. Gideon's story, like ours, is a story about worship. God makes us into godly men (and women) not just for our own benefit but for his glory, and true manhood is found in realizing and accepting this fact, learning to glorify God through our lives in all we do. Gideon's Cry gives encouragement to all who accept this challenge to grow into a generation of true men and women who lift up God's name, walk in his power and love, and see his victory.
