Review
Discipline is a subject about which the Scriptures say much--but contemporary authors have been peculiarly silent. Kent Hughes fills a gaping void with this superb volume.... If there is a spark of spiritual desire in your soul, this book will surely kindle it into a blazing passion for godly discipline. --John MacArthur, pastor and best-selling author. To open this book and find someone taking seriously the biblical call of`agonizing to enter the kingdom' and... boxing and sweating like a champion to get victory over sin is the most refreshing thing I could have set my eyes on. --John Piper, pastor and popular author
Review
"Discipline is a subject about which the Scriptures say much-but contemporary authors have been peculiarly silent. Kent Hughes fills a gaping void with this superb volume. . . . If there is a spark of spiritual desire in your soul, this book will surely kindle it into a blazing passion for godly discipline."
—John MacArthur, Pastor, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California
"This is a book for men who are eager to learn how to be more effective. It comes from the pen of one who has learned to serve as he has led and who is able to provide the reader with many practical applications of eternal truth."
—C. William Pollard, Chairman Emeritus, The ServiceMaster Company
"To open this book and find someone taking seriously the biblical call of 'agonizing to enter the kingdom' and . . . boxing and sweating like a champion to get victory over sin is the most refreshing thing I could have set my eyes on."
—John Piper, Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Twin Cities, Minnesota
"An outstanding volume for men and women alike! . . . Over 250 pages devoted to the practical outworking of discipline on subjects like purity, marriage, prayer, the tongue, the mind, our work, leadership, ministry, and many, many more. I guarantee: Digest this book and you will bid the blahs farewell."
—Charles Swindoll, Pastor and Best-Selling Author
"I enjoyed reading Disciplines of a Godly Man because it challenged my spirit. I highly recommend it to men who are not thin-skinned."
—Mike Singletary, NFL Hall of Fame Linebacker
"An inspiring and practical guide for men who seek to reflect God's glory in their lives. This book is a challenging text for personal devotions as well as for assisting young followers of Christ to grow in their walk with God."
—Howard D. Graves(U.S. Army, Retired), Former Superintendent, United States Military Academy (West Point, NY)
From AudioFile
This production is for the man of God who wants to take the next step of faith. Hughes pes into all areas of a man's life. This work is the first in a trilogy; the second title, written by his wife, focuses on women, and the third, written with his wife, focuses on family. Wayne Shepherd gives an inconsistent narration, with obvious audio level changes and some mispronunciations (sometimes of theological terms). While the level changes are a bit distracting, the production is clearly audible and well paced, and the strong, meaty text is well worth the effort of listening through these small distractions. Hughes offers a well-written book on a topic vital to today's men of faith. S.M.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

One of the frustrations in my life is that I have been a christian for 1/2 of my 43 years and you would think that I would be farther along on my journey to become a disciple. Mr. Hughes, the author of this book, shares his thoughts on becoming a man of God, and some areas that we need to focus in on. In chapters like, "The Discipline of Marriage", he points out ways that men stumble and encourages us to avoid the pitfalls that have tripped so many up. This book takes a hard line on sin, but doesn't preach. It encourages us to be strong and courageous and gives practical steps for keeping the victory over sin. It is an excellent book to use in a men's discussion group. You can read a chapter each week, read the scriptures which are referenced and discuss the end of chapter questions. I recommend this to every man, 15 and up.

Forget Wild at Heart! Buy this book instead. It calls for radical discipline as the means of pursuing godliness in every area of life. With a good blend of biblical teaching, true-life stories, and practical advice, Hughes leads men to embrace the spiritual sweat necessary in following Christ. I like this book so much that I'm currently leading the men in our church through this study. It's one of (if not the) best books for men on the Christian market today.

It is easy to see why Kent Hughes' book has been such a best seller. The author has compiled in these pages an invaluable collection of helpful, spiritual advice for men in the 21st century. I am not aware of a more comprehensive volume that covers so many topics within one cover.
Hughes identifies the following life areas: relationships, soul, character, ministry, and grace. He then provides specific disciplines that each cultivate a more dynamic Christian lifestyle. His advice is Biblically sound, culturally relevant, and easy to understand.
This book will be very helpful to any man who desires to grow deeper in his devotion to Jesus Christ. While it is only an introductory work, it provides a solid foundation on which to begin a more structured approach to discipleship. I recommend it highly.
