A man without real friends is a man vulnerable, discouraged, and spiritually unhappy. In this book, you will learn about the friendships a man needs-and why this matters so much to Christians.”-Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary“I love Justin’s word picture of the kid who climbs up the playground slide to come down rather than using the steps. I see so much of this in the world of sports that I’m involved in-the pursuit of the quick fix, the instant results. But as a disciple of Christ, there are vital steps of patience that must be taken in maturing faith. I love this Gospel-centric reminder of the need for us to take the steps of patience in being discipled by mentors and discipling others for King Jesus.”-Ron Brown, Director of Player Development, University of Nebraska Football, Cofounder and codirector of Kingdom Sports“Following Jesus and serving my family are my first two passions in life. Racing and racecars are third. My uncle was a racer, so this passion developed while growing near our local dirt track. Justin's book had me hooked from the first page. Using the elements of racing-from the crew chief and every person on the pit crew and even the spectators-to illustrate what a man needs in his life was spot on! This book, while written for men, can definitely apply to women as well. After all, lots of women love Jesus and sports!”-Janet Hunt, wife of Dr. Johnny Hunt, former senior pastor of First Baptist Church Woodstock, Georgia“Having a front-row seat to history and serving one of the greatest leaders of our era, President Ronald Reagan, I saw the value of being surrounded by people who support, encourage, and challenge you. Many of Reagan’s achievements wouldn’t have been possible without friends and advisers who helped him be strong and successful while still maintaining his faith, his marriage to Nancy, and his visionary patriotism and optimism. Seven Friendships Every Man Needs provides you with a road map for staying on the path toward a successful life, meaningful friendships, and godly excellence.”-Peggy Grande, Executive Assistant to President Ronald Reagan, 1989-1999“Someone has said that a friend is someone who walks in when everyone else walks out. Justin articulates well what that kind of friend looks like in Seven Friendships Every Man Needs. There are friends who stick closer than a brother. Find a friend, and be a friend.”-Ken Whitten, Pastor, Idlewild Baptist ChurchAbout the AuthorJustin Erickson (MDiv) is a pastor and church planter, who is dedicated to teaching, discipling, counseling, and training men into godly relationships.
