Men are so busy doing so many different things. No down time-every day, every week filled with stuff. What society and church so desperately need, though, are men who embrace all God created them to be: men who long to follow God without limits and meet the needs of those around them without hesitation. To get there we need what Pastor James MacDonald calls "radical surgery" - a deep, probing exploration and reparation of all that it means to be a man.

In his definitive, bold voice, MacDonald calls men to be watchful, firm in their faith, strong, and loving. This isn't a call for bravado and bluster. It's a call for men to mix tender and tough, to be humble, to follow Jesus. It is a call to be leaders, men of God, husbands who are present and caring and strong. It is straight talk-no posturing or posing or beating around the bush- inviting men to redemption and restoration in their manhood.

The body of Christ can?t be all that it should be unless we mature in our interpersonal relationships as the Bible commands. Building Up One Another has been helping believers do just that since 1976, when Gene Getz first published what has since become a best-selling classic. This book, the cornerstone of the well-known ?One Another Series,? has now been thoroughly updated and rewritten, drawing upon Dr. Getz?s church planting and ?building up? experience. It also includes a personal and group study.

Explore with Dr. Getz twelve significant ?one another? commands of the New Testament, and follow the practical steps for developing them in your own life and in the life of your church. It?s a long-term building process, but one that pleases God and reaps rewards not just in this lifetime but in the next.
