Publisher Description
What does it mean to be a man made in the image of God? And what does it mean to be a man under God's grace, called according to His purpose? In The Masculine Mandate, Dr. Richard D. Phillips cuts through the cultural confusion, highlights God's mandate for men, and encourages listeners to join him on a journey of repentance and renewal. Phillips begins in the Garden of Eden, drawing foundational teaching for men in the earliest chapters of God's Word. He provides clear biblical instruction for husbands, fathers, and sons as he carefully examines important truths from Scripture.

About Richard D. Phillips
Richard D. Phillips was raised in
an Army family and grew up on posts around America. After graduating from the
University of Michigan, he followed his father and grandfather by serving as a
tank officer. While in graduate school in Philadelphia, his mother urged him to
start attending church again, so he visited the Tenth Presbyterian Church. The
message he heard that night changed his life, a sermon from the Old Testament
book of Hosea about God’s redeeming love for sinners through the cross of Jesus
Christ. He quickly became active in Officer’s Christian Fellowship during the
years he was teaching leadership at West Point. He began leading a Bible study
for students and was then asked to write a daily devotional before finally
starting to preach at Christian meetings. Through these experiences, he
concluded that God was calling him into a full-time pulpit ministry, so he left
the Army and embarked on fulfilling God’s call to the ordained ministry. He now
serves as senior minister of Second Presbyterian Church in downtown Greenville,
South Carolina. He frequently speaks at conferences on the Bible and theology
and is active in overseas missions, especially in East Africa. He likes to
spend time with his wife and children and is a loyal follower of his alma
mater, the Michigan Wolverines, as well as an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox.
