“30 Days with the Men in the Arena” is a powerful biographical daily Bible study focused on personal transformation and reflection. We live in an age when manhood is under assault. This book serves as a “go to” reference, drawn from the pages of scripture, showcasing men who walked with God, experienced struggles, and pressed through to victory in the arena of life.

These stories will encourage, inspire and evoke in you a greater passion for God and a genuine commitment to live life to the fullest. Each day features a different Bible character and contains a reflection section and a prayer. As a finishing touch, each character’s Personality Profile is analyzed based on a popular personality type indicator method.

The title is drawn from Teddy Roosevelt’s famous “Man in the Arena” theme:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better...

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Each amazing story, drawn directly from the pages of scripture, stands as a testimony of faith, courage and endurance, challenging the listener to give all for God and live life to the fullest.
