The Man for the Day

Josh’s previous B&H book, The Titus Ten, ended with a quote from Charles Spurgeon that said, “Here is the day for the man, where is the man for the day?” In our day, we find a growing desire among men for a more robust spiritual life; to both walk with God and to also be used by God. Men are tired of feeling defeated, being scolded, and watching their families, churches, and culture be attacked all while feeling as if they should do something but being unsure of what that something is exactly. Men long to become “the men for the day,” men who are prepared and willing to be courageously used by God when, where, and however he chooses. But they don’t know how to be that man. This book walks through the life of Elijah and reveals 10 qualities necessary for the reader to grow to become “The Man for the Day.”

Smith calls for men to surrender to God, to prepare their lives for what He would call them to do, to be men of direction and courage. Smith calls for me to be bold for God, to lead their families well, to resolve themselves for the task at hand. Smith addresses the hardship of our time but ultimately addresses the need for godly men to stand and meet the challenges of the day.
