Men of Virtue How the Fruit of the Spirit Forms Male Character in the Modern World Zachary Wagner

For Christian men searching for purpose, the crisis of masculinity is real—but the solution isn’t toxic bravado, gender erasure, or culture-war confusion. It’s virtue. The fruit of the Spirit can shape our vision for biblical manhood in today’s complex world. In Men of Virtue , Zachary Wagner offers a distinctly Christian vision of masculinity inspired by the virtues Paul commends to all believers. This resource shows readers how the fruit of the Spirit guides character development; offers a nonpartisan, biblically grounded vision of masculinity; and reveals what it looks like for men to live out scriptural virtues in distinct, embodied ways. The book offers a fresh biblical vision of masculinity that calls men into a new kind of strength, character, and purpose. Zachary Wagner (DPhil, University of Oxford) serves as director of programs at the Center for Pastor Theologians and cohosts the CPT Podcast. He is a New Testament scholar, an ordained minister, and the author of Non-Toxic Masculinity . Meeting God in His Means of Grace How Word, Sacrament, and Prayer Help Us Encounter Christ Harrison Perkins For readers longing to know God more intimately and commune with God more closely, Harrison Perkins has good news. Many Christians wait for God to show up in extraordinary experiences, but God is already moving in ordinary ways. These blessings are available to us in the God-appointed practices we find in a good local church—the Word, the sacraments, and prayer. With clarity and warmth, Perkins unpacks how each of these means of grace uniquely draws us into communion with Christ, shaping our worship into a life-giving encounter with God’s grace. Perkins encourages readers to meet God in church, surrounded by other believers, growing in grace together. Harrison Perkins (PhD, Queen’s University Belfast) is pastor of Oakland Hills Community Church (OPC), a senior research fellow at the Craig Center for the Study of the Westminster Standards, associate online instructor in church history at Westminster Theological Seminary, visiting faculty at Birmingham Theological Seminary, and a visiting lecturer in systematic theology at Edinburgh Theological Seminary.
