Book excerpt: Manufactured Manhood urges men to live by Gods design for the sake of preserving families, marriages, and our future. It gives women a portrait of godly manhood and how it impacts relationships, and it provides hope for the next generation to experience the loving presence and influence of men who find their strength and identity in the Lord. Praise for Manufactured Manhood Manufactured Manhood is an adaptation of Gerald Bower the man. This book will challenge you to step up in a day when others are notto be the man God wants you to be. Mike Hooper Executive Pastor Grace Community Church Since I have observed some of the manhood qualities exemplified in his way of life, Manufactured Manhood would be a worthwhile read for all men to taste of and digest. Wanda Lartigue Church Leader Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church Brother Gerald Bowers writings are always portable, profitable, and productive. As you are reading, you get a real sense that this man has been there, right in the trenches with you battling together, getting a handle on manhood. Duane M. Lawrence Associate Pastor Living Word Fellowship Church Gerald Bower not only encourages others with words but with his life that has modeled what he teaches.
