Our culture tells them that their instincts are either toxic or salvific. Men are left with only two options: deconstruct and forfeit masculine identity or embrace it with wild abandon. They're left to decide between ignoring their instincts or indulging them. Neither approach helps them actually understand their own masculine experiences nor how those experiences can lead them to become better men of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bible doesn't shy away from the reality of masculine instincts nor all of the ways those instincts can lead to destruction. Examining the lives of five men of the Bible, \u003ci\u003eThe 5 Masculine Instincts\u003c\/i\u003e shows that these men aren't masculine role models or heroes but are men who wrestled with their own desires and, by faith, matured them into something better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough this book you'll discover your own instincts are neither curse nor virtue. They are the experiences by which you develop a new and better instinct--an instinct of faith. By exploring sarcasm, adventure, ambition, reputation, and apathy, \u003ci\u003eThe 5 Masculine Instincts\u003c\/i\u003e shows you how to better understand yourself and how your own instincts can be matured into something better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is the path by which we become better men.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHASE REPLOGLE\u003c\/b\u003e is the pastor of Bent Oak Church in Springfield, Missouri.
