WHAT OTHER PASTORS ARE SAYING!


This is a must read for every pastor. Pastoring Men addresses the number one crisis in the church today, and that is a lack of men and the lack of opportunities for them to be in ministry for Jesus Christ. I endorse this book enthusiastically and believe in its transformational possibilities for men.

Rev. David Adams
General Secretary, General Commission on United Methodist Men

The church of the Lord Jesus is in desperate need for men of God; men who know God,
love God and serve God with lives surrendered to his lordship. Pastoring Men helps us
understand why we must and how we can effectively disciple men in our churches who
will become radically devoted followers of our great Savior and King. Biblical and practical,
this is a much needed resource for those who long to effectively pastor and raise up
an army of godly men.

Daniel L. Akin
President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

I sensed the kindness of God while reading Pastoring Men, and it refreshed my soul.
Pat Morley hits a home run with this, especially for leaders who want to have an effective
ministry and desire to do something more than what has been going on concerning men.

Gus Bess
Senior Pastor, First Evangelical Free Church, Tucson

Pastoring Men is a realistic, encouraging, and insightful examination of how to
develop—and sustain—a first-rate, field-tested method to disciple men. Put this book
at the top of your reading list.

Professor, Florida State University (and chair of Patrick’s dissertation committee)

I know of no one in America who knows more about men—what they think, want, feel,
and believe—than Pat Morley. Not only that, I know of no one who cares more for men
and has more passion for discipling them than Pat Morley. If you care about the “men
problem” in our culture and the church, this is your book. It is profoundly biblical and
incredibly practical. It could change the face of the church and, through the church, the
nation.

Steve Brown
Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando
Teacher on the nationally syndicated radio program Key Life 


Pastoring Men directly confronts a critical need in our churches today: developing godly
men! The need is great, but so is the opportunity. Our churches must disciple all the
men and equip them to succeed at home and in the culture. Pat Morley asks and answers
the significant questions that enable pastors to effectively minister to all of their men.

Kirbyjon H. Caldwell

“This is a battle worth fighting.” What true words! It is a battle that takes diligent,
persistent, effort along with even more diligence in prayer and trust in the Lord. It is
also a battle worth fighting, especially by pastors. We need more men who are faithful
followers of Christ in their homes, churches, jobs, and communities and who can lead
and disciple other men, as well as women and children. The Lord has given Pat many
insights into the effective discipleship of men. Come join the battle to disciple ongoing
generations of godly men.

Robert C. (Ric) Cannada Jr.
Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological Seminary

Patrick Morley’s long-standing concern to see the light of Christ in the life of men has
always been inspiring. Now this exceedingly practical book helping pastors implement
discipleship programs specifically directed toward men will do much to shape the future
of home, church, and the next generation. Morley writes in terms that reach men—and
change them.

Bryan Chapell
President, Covenant Theological Seminary

This is an excellent book! One formula for excellence is: Passion + Precision = Excellence.
Patrick Morley exudes a heart aflame for effective men’s discipleship while providing
what pastors and lay leaders hunger for—precise, usable approaches and answers to the
real needs of men today. If you have a heart to disciple men, this is your book. If you
mark useable quotes as you read, plan to wear out your highlighter on this one!

Tom Clymer
Ocean Drive Presbyterian Church

This is more than a book. It is a prophetic word that comes at a pivotal time in our contemporary
history. Pastoring Men salutes the priority that God designed to be the leading
edge of good, new beginnings of reformation and harbingers of hope. It’s a clarion
call that not only beckons us back to His mandate, but gives us practical ways to follow.
This book can renew our churches. It restores the priority of calling men to lead, to be
the first to serve, and to be the examples that will direct us back to God’s best.

Wayne Cordeiro
New Hope Christian Fellowship Foursquare Church, Honolulu

Pastoring Men is written by a man who understands men—their needs, desires, and aspirations.
Pat Morley offers a useful plan for any pastor who wants to focus on building a
ministry of discipleship for every man in his church. Engaging, inspiring, and practical,
Pastoring Men has vast potential in the process of discipling men in the local church.

Rod Culbertson Jr.
Associate professor of practical theology, dean of student development
Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte

The information contained in this book is fundamental, biblical, and critical for this
day and age. Pastoring Men articulates the needs of men both within the church and in
representing the church in a secularized society. The church has, in many ways, failed at
pastoring men. This book equips leaders to understand the challenge and have a clear
vision for the call.

Senior Pastor, Cornerstone Church of the Assemblies of God

Every pastor knows that if you reach the man for Christ, you will also more than likely
reach the entire family. Consequently, discipling the men in your church is strategic to
fulfilling Christ’s Great Commission. Patrick Morley’s strategy is to disciple men who
can impact every arena of life and ministry. This book combines the best of Man In the
Mirror and No Man Left Behind to provide every pastor with the inspiration, strategy,
and practical tools to disciple every man in the church. This excellent tool can create a
continual flow of called, equipped, and committed lay leaders. It is a resource I and my
leadership team will refer to time and time again.

Mark Fuller
Pastor, Grove City Church of the Nazarene

As a pastor to pastors, I believe you will need to read this book. You’ll discover how important
you are in developing a vibrant men’s ministry in your church. It won’t happen as
it should without your direct leadership. You’ll discover that the results will permeate
every aspect of your ministry.

Gene A. Getz
Pastor Emeritus, Chase Oaks Church
President, Center for Church Renewal, Plano, Texas

Pat Morley knows men. He’s been in the foxholes discipling hundreds for more than
twenty years—weeping , teaching, counseling, and challenging them to be all that God
wants them to be as husbands, fathers, employees/employers, and effective laymen in
the church. As his pastor, I’ve watched him closely for all these years. He’s the real deal.
This book is a guide from Scripture to shoe leather to help all of us who are serious about
change in our own lives as well as desperate to disciple others.

Chuck Green
Pastor Emeritus, Orangewood Presbyterian Church

No one has studied the subject of men's ministry more closely than Patrick Morley. But this is more than a tour de force. Pastoring Men brims with informed passion that will hearten and equip the church to reach men.

R. Kent Hughes
Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church in Wheaton

I don’t think I have encountered a better apologetic for calling men to discipleship than
Pat’s new book. It gets inside the heart of both pastor and layman and introduces them
to each other. Often much is lost in translation between pastor and the average guy; Pat
becomes the mediator and translator. Real understanding is the result.

Men are indeed the untapped reservoir of useful energy for the kingdom of God. Patrick
Morley has been used by the Lord to help men become a vital part of His work in the
church and Kingdom. No one has more passion for men’s ministry than this author.
Read Pastoring Men and learn from one who knows how!

Johnny M. Hunt
Pastor, First Baptist Woodstock
President of Southern Baptist Convention

If it were possible, I would give this book to every pastor in America. It’s that good and
right on target! It powerfully states what every pastor urgently needs to hear, namely,
your men desperately need you to disciple them. Few men can explain why or how to do this
better than Patrick Morley. Let him help you win with your men.

Robert Lewis
Pastor-at-large, Fellowship Bible Church
Founder of Men’s Fraternity 

Statistics show the decline of participation of men in church. Pat Morley has confronted
this situation with candor and compassion. He offers positive perspectives on how the
church can reclaim men both in participation and leadership. His approach is extremely
practical and very applicable for the local church. Those of us serving in the professional
ministry genuinely appreciate this helpful and insightful book.

John Ed Mathison
Senior Pastor, Frazier Memorial United Methodist Church

Leadership is influence. Pastoring Men is an insightful and practical tool to increase
your influence with your men. This book will help you create, capture, and sustain the
momentum you need to more effectively disciple all the men in your church. Read this
book! You won’t be disappointed!

John C. Maxwell
Author, speaker, and founder of ISS and EQUIP
Duluth, Georgia

Pat once again shows us that there is no task more important or urgent than discipling
men. Pastoring Men shares with us the need, the burden, and the practical steps to “leave
no man behind.” Chapter 11, “Seventy Things Every Man Needs to Know” alone will
prove to be an invaluable resource. I urge every pastor to read and apply this book to
your life and ministry.

Dwayne Mercer
Pastor, First Baptist Church, Oviedo, Florida

Patrick Morley has done it again. Just like Man in the Mirror, he has written a must read
for men and pastors alike. Read it with your eyes, plant it in your heart, and you will be
more of God’s man than you ever dreamed you could be.

James Meritt
Cross Pointe Southern Baptist Church, Duluth, Georgia

This book is in essence a training manual that disciples pastors in the fine art of discipling
all the men under their care. Packed with a biblical wisdom and common sense, it is an outstanding resource that will prove in practice, like a good artesian well, never to run dry.

J.I. Packer
Professor of Theology, Regent College

Patrick Morley knows men. He knows their hopes, their hurts, and their dreams. Now
The-Man-in-the-Mirror man provides pastors and other church leaders a tool that
may become indispensable in our hurting churches that love hurting men. I commend
Pastoring Men to you with enthusiasm. I just wish the book had been available when I
was a pastor.

Thom S. Rainer
President and CEO, LifeWay Christian Resources, Nashville

The Bible repeatedly uses the phrase “act like men.” So clearly there is something about
Christian manhood and biblical masculinity that is desired when the gospel takes hold
of a man’s heart. Patrick Morley has again addressed this issue biblically and profoundly
in a way that not only clarifies but also assists pastors and leaders in knowing how to
shepherd and disciple men for Christ.

Harry L. Reeder, III
Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church

Patrick is addressing one of the most critical issues for the church of the twenty-first
century. Children will follow in the faith, values, and lifestyles of their fathers. We must
engage men in the heroic places of their hearts to lead the next generation as role models
of faith and integrity.

Mike Slaughter
Pastor, Ginghamsburg Church

^back to top of page^

Drawing from his vast experience, Pat has taken the mystery out of how to connect with,
shepherd, and motivate men to be disciples of Jesus Christ. An incredibly insightful
and practical work, Pastoring Men should be on every pastor’s shelf as both blueprint for
beginning a compelling men’s ministry and as fresh wind to invigorate a stale one. This
is a very important book for the kingdom.

Jay Simmons
Pastor, South City Presbyterian Church, St. Louis

As a pastor for fifty-plus years, I had a great desire to help men become the spiritual
leaders God intends them to be. The work of Patrick Morley was very helpful to me.
This newest book will be invaluable to pastors in that responsibility today. His chapters
“What Do Men Want?” and “What Do Men Need?” are worth the price of the book.

Jerry Vines
President, Jerry Vines Ministries

Let’s be honest: The worst kept secret in our churches is how poorly we’re really doing
at activating and equipping men for the most thrilling, fulfilling, and demanding
purpose on the planet: following Jesus. With his new book, Pastoring Men, Patrick
Morley squarely targets leaders and pastors with that challenge. Jammed with years of
insight, “reality-check” statistics, and practical tips on the essential factors for discipling
men, Pastoring Men gives us enough fire and resources to get it done. The “Seventy
Things Every Man Needs to Know” topical index in part three is worth the price of
the book alone.
