Masculinity has been given a hard way to go. From being maligned to misunderstood, it is often looked down on. Men may not even know what it means to be a man in the Biblical sense. Chris Clevenger seeks to fix that in Sons of Dust, a walk through of God’s creation of man.

If you rely on society and movies to show you masculinity, you will end up with a false picture. Men are not men because they don’t cry, fight all the time, and hide their feelings. Men are created to take care of things, from work to family. To be a man means that you fulfill God’s purpose for you.

Clevenger begins with showing who our Creator is, and what makes man so special among creation. He also tells about why women are important to complete men. Through out the book, he breaks down stereotypes of what being a man is, and replaces them with truth. For example, men don’t have to hide feelings or a creative side; God created them to be expressed. Clevenger issues a call for men to return to who they are created to be, workers, protectors, lovers.

There is a lot of information in Sons of Dust, and it is good for men of different ages. It would make a nice complement to a Bible study group to use. Dads could use it with their boys as they grow up.

I received a free copy of this book from BookCrash as part of their review program.
