Jonathan McKee
In the Guy's Guide to Four Battles Every Young Man Must Face (Shiloh Run Press, May 2019) author and social researcher Jonathan McKee provides timely help for young men who often feel ill-equipped to deal with the four biggest distractions culture dangles before them. If you could peek into the mind of a guy and hear some of the honest questions he is asking, you'd probably hear things like: "Why wait for something when I can enjoy it now?" "These images don¹t really affect me. . .do they?" "How could smoking a little weed really be that bad when it's becoming legalized everywhere?” "I'd like to tell you I don't care what others think, but honestly, I want to be liked." It's certain that today’s young men have had one. . .maybe even a few of these thoughts. And it’s extremely difficult for them to admit, or even acknowledge their struggles, much less know how to deal with them. The good news is they’re not alone. And there's hope. In this new, engaging read, bestselling author Jonathan McKee gets real about the battles every young man will face in life: Sexual Temptation, Screens, Controlled Substances and Struggles with Self-Esteem. With both humor and honesty, McKee shares practical, spiritual advice, filled with real-world application encouraging young men to overcome their past, press forward, and become who God designed them to be. With more than 20 years of experience working with teens and studying youth culture, McKee provides helpful insights for young men and the encouragement they need to overcome four difficult battles in life. http://www.thesource4parents.com/
