Elder David S. Baxter examines what it means to be a truly good man through biographical portraits of Eric Liddell, William Wilberforce, Derek Cuthbert, Paulo Freire, Raoul Wallenberg, and David Livingstone, plus a chapter on raising good boys and a closing tribute to Jesus Christ. Each chapter distills the choices and virtues that made these men great, ending with practical lessons readers can apply. A devotional call for husbands, fathers, and young men to live lives of honor, faith, and service. Seven true stories of extraordinary men—an Olympian, an abolitionist, a Holocaust rescuer—who show what real masculine goodness looks like. Written by an LDS General Authority who overcame a fatherless, traumatic childhood and two brain tumors. A powerful antidote to a culture that has lost its moral compass on manhood and fatherhood. Each chapter ends with practical lessons any man or boy can apply to his own life. “The world does not need more bad men. It has more than enough of them already. We need more good men—men of integrity, sound character, and sheer goodness.”Perfect for an LDS father, priesthood holder, or youth leader seeking inspiring role models and a devotional guide to becoming a better man and raising good sons.
