Flawed to Fruitful: Hope for Men
As men, we are flawed. Our sin nature has marred us and keeps us at odds with our Heavenly Father. But when Jesus is Lord of our life, we do not have to live this way! This book examines five common issues men face today by studying the lives of five flawed men from Scripture. God was faithful to use these men despite their flaws. From their lives we learn that we, too, may be flawed, but in the power of Christ, we can become fruitful servants of the King!

Occasionally I run across a book that addresses life as it really is for Christian men. Rolland Kenneson’s Flawed to Fruitful is one such book. It explores five major topics in the lives of five men of God: Moses and anger; Gideon and fear; David and lust; Elijah and depression; and Peter and inconsistency. Most men who read this book will feel like Kenneson has been reading their personal diary. And they will thank him for it. Written with clarity, simplicity, and most of all, biblical fidelity, it doesn’t get any more practical than this. From the pen of an experienced pastor who knows himself, the Biblical characters he portrays, and the flaws of men, here is practical biblical wisdom to win the victory over our flaws. Once you start reading, you will have a hard time putting this book down. Highly recommended. Dr. David L.
