"Finally, a book for men's spiritual development that actually starts with Jesus. Not lightly baptized Jungian archetypes. Not secular stereotypes that seek to present Jesus as a 'man's man.' This is good stuff."-- John OrtbergPastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church"Derek Maul's Get Real calls Christian men to step unhesitatingly into the reality of new life in Christ. Like the message it echoes, Derek's book is direct and forthright -- we are called to and promised transformation through following Jesus. Get Real reminds us that God meets us in the ordinariness of our daily lives and makes all things new through the light of our faith in Christ. And as Derek says, 'Faith is reality.

' This book is a welcome traveling companion as we walk -- step-by-step, moment by moment -- into the reality God has for each of us."-- Gregg HubbardKeyboardist/vocalist for country/rock band Sawyer Brown"For men even vaguely interested in a deeper spiritual walk, Get Real is the right book at the right time. Derek Maul has a heart for real men dealing with the issues of real life. If you are looking for a great resource that will encourage men and strengthen the family, Get Real is right on the money."-- Mark MerrillFounder and president, Family First, a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening the familyHost, Family Minute with Mark Merrill daily radio program"Derek Maul has written a refreshingly honest book that provides a new angle of vision on the quest for a deeper spiritual life.
