Free Downloads Five Marks Of A Man: The Simple Code That Separates Men From Boys
What really separates a man from a boy? Is manhood just marked by age, or is there something else that really turns a male into a man? Brian Tome believes there are five marks that every authentic man in history has displayed, and pursuing them can be life-altering. It's a simple, ancient code that all fathers, sons, and husbands need to know, but is rarely taught. While the world is full of fluffy and confusing ideas about how men should behave, Tome uses his practical experience in leading men to expose the clear, simple truths about what makes men most effective. Just knowing these five marks, however, is not enough. True transformation comes from aggressively pursuing them in your everyday life. In Five Marks Of A Man, Tome shows you: - Why it’s critical to have a vision for your life, and how to make hard choices. - Why you need to be a protector of people around you. - How to find a team that will support your goals. - How to establish a ritual to lead your own son into manhood. - And much more. As Tome writes, "I have come to believe that the transition to manhood is not marked by age, it’s about something much more substantial. It’s about your mindset and your actions. It’s about assuming responsibility for your place in the world and stepping into a new reality—one defined by strength, purpose, and a code of honor.” Through Five Marks Of A Man you will discover a code that great men have followed for centuries. Now, it’s your turn to man up.

Tome has somehow taken fundamental basic truths about manhood (and faith) and laid them out in a wonderfully insightful simplistic way.He has at once destroyed the castrated Christian and "Truck-nuts" Redneck as models of modern manhood by giving us handles (5 of them) on how to approach our masculinity.I've seen men impacted by this teaching. I've seen families changed, marriages redeemed and men become whole. Men, read this (especially if you think it's not for you). Women, have any man in your life that you care about read this. They'll be better for it.Thank you Brian, for this piece of truth.Judd WatkinsPS- Posting this under my wife's name in our shared account is perfect irony.
A great and timely book. I especially recommend this to fathers who want to help their sons transition into manhood. That transition is not automatic. For thousands of years many different cultures have taught us that becoming a man requires a declaration and celebration and even a ritual of some kind. This book guides the reader into what that can look like and the key elements to impart for the transition to have a great and lasting impact. The 5 marks are:1. Men have a vision2. Men take a minority position3. Men are team players4. Men work5. Men are protectorsThe content is solid, trustworthy, and well written!
I have personally witnessed these simple, yet extremely powerful, concepts transform marriages, families, careers and men's lives. Brian and team are running after topics and opportunities that God has clearly called them to in a way that's unique, refreshing, challenging and already has been game-changing.
The "New Man" sermon has been a major part of my "manly" life. I try to live my life by these five marks. It is a great resource for changing the conversation and creating accountability as a man, husband, father and team mate. As a member of Crossroads, a Man Camp Alum and a Man Week NOLA alum I am ALL IN with being a better man, A NEW MAN. Thank you Brian Tome for this book that we can share with others and for guidance to build into the Kingdom.
This book is based on teachings that have changed my life (yes, even as a woman) and undoubtedly changed the direction of our family over the years. We live in a culture that desperately needs more males to understand true masculinity. (Aren't sure if you agree? Then this book is for you, too.) I'm so proud of my husband for his constant pursuit of being a better man, husband and father. The concepts written about in this book helped pave the way.
Brian is the real deal, what you see is what you get and what you get is a passionate, real follower of Jesus, leader of people and real man. This book is full of faith and full of life. Dangerous to read, Dangerous to Live but more dangerous not to. We desperately need a reimagining of biblical manhood. K
No nonsense, light hearted and deep hearted at the same time biblical approach to what it means to be a man and the difference between a boy and a man. It is truth explained in common terms every man can understand and every many can apply. I will teach these 5 marks to my own son, and usher him into Manhood, and as a Man Camper myself I will hold to and apply these to my own life. Kudos to Brian Tome and others who helped this book come to fruition.
I have been part of Crossroads for several years, and have been a witness to seeing the themes of this book come to pass. Following these principles have made me more of a man and less of a boy. I still have a way to go, but everyday I remind myself of these 5 marks. This is a great book that everyone should read and put into practice. You will see results, just as I have.
