Publisher's Summary: Masculinity has been misrepresented in contemporary society. Men have become associated with either of two camps, one of which is too similar to femininity to be complementary, and another that is a caricature which casts modern men as Neolithic knuckle-draggers in a primetime sitcom. Millions of modern men need a rallying point, a deep understanding of the masculine spirit capable of transforming our cultural concept of masculinity. In the second chapter of Genesis, Moses introduces us to Adam, a man created by God to be the perfect embodiment of masculinity. The Lord fashioned man from the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and initiated him into real manhood by giving him a passion and a purpose. By meditating upon the early narrative of the first man's creation, modern men can become acquainted with the roots of biblical manliness. The descendants of Adam, Sons of Dust, find in the first man everything God intends for them to embody personally, professionally, and paternally. In Sons of Dust: The Roots of Biblical Manliness, Chris Clevenger guides men through the second chapter of Genesis, highlighting concepts that develop and enrich the masculine spirit. By guiding men through the account of the Garden of Eden, Chris invites men to cultivate the character that God himself instilled in Adam and, by developing such a character, live up to their potential as Sons of Dust.
Members Reviews: A Service to All Men SONS OF DUST is a greatly needed book for our time! I am grateful that this young man, Chris Clevenger, has been so interested in and concerned about biblical manliness. His podcast, Biblical Manliness, on the Light Network (http://thelightnetwork.tv/tag/man/ ), is of immense value. How greatly needed is the discussion of this topic! The writerâs love of God and the Bible is so obvious. His study of Genesis 2 will challenge and bless all men who seek to be Godâs man. Would that this volume could sell millions. There is such a great need for biblical instruction regarding what kind of man God wants men to be and there is such an inexhaustible source for the topic (the Bible) that surely this will the first of a series of books. The book is composed of eleven chapters. It has 126 pages. It can be read quickly, but will be valuable to highlight and go back over for careful self-evaluation. My favorite chapters were: âA Match Made in Heaven,â and âThe First Poet.â On page 109, his description of his own wedding scene was so well written I felt I was present. A definite weakness of the book was that it had no footnotes, though very many quotations. Attribution was given within the text. The exception to that being that he did give scripture references. Just as the scripture references allow one to consider context, so footnotes serve in the books of men. There were a couple of words that I think were over-used: YAHWEH (39x) and NARRATIVE (25x). Overall, I give the book five stars and think it was an outstanding effort for a first book!
A much needed book for all who would be truly Biblical men I've not read anything remotely CLOSE to this beautifully crafted work! This is an absolute MUST for young teen boys' classes & homes; Mens' retreats and devotionals; and especially personal study.
