No More Excuses: Be the Man God Made You to Be (Updated Edition)

Good reading book

I really enjoyed this book. Tony keeps it100 and has the Word to back it up. I recommend this book to every male that knows how to read, Not just Christian men. Everyone. It's enlightening, inspiring, motivational, and spiritually awakening. I thank God and pray for more men like Pastor Evans. I too Will leave a spiritual legacy!! Thank you my brother.

This is an informative, eye opening, soul catching look into what it takes to be the man God made us to be. It is a must read and one I will read again for a better understanding.

Wonderful book for Christian men to study ~

I'm a mentor at the San Diego rescue mission. I've been using this book with two different gentlemen who are trying to get rehomed. Dr Evans has such a unique way of framing problems and our discussions of these topics are so illuminating. Highly recommend this book we've had so many great deep discussions, which is led to transformation in certain areas of the mentees lives.

Very clear cut that men need to step up, wipe off the past, and get on with doing the right thing in all aspects of their lives without making any type of excuse when they don't.I could do without the use of "homey" and other slang words when referencing biblical greats, but I guess that's where Tony may be trying to reach a certain audience.The book is pretty spot on in describing that when men don't do the right, biblical, or even lawful thing, they make excuses that are inexcusable. There may be pathetic reasons we choose to blame for not doing what we are called to do, but reasons are not excuses. If you miss your kid's ballgame that you promised to be at, and you tell him "Sorry, I had more work to get done than I thought" that's a reason that doesn't fly. Simple fact is, you weren't there when you said you would be. Period.I was surprised that early in the book Tony addresses black men by immediately and bluntly killing the notion that slavery is any excuse these many years later for still calling on it as an excuse.I always appreciate Tony's straight forward manner of writing. Many scriptures are used to back up what he is saying.I plan to use this book as an "ice breaker" for a movement at our own church to help men see that their biblical role as a man does not allow for making excuses when they fail. Buck up up and admit you failed. Get up, wipe it off, and get back to doing what you're supposed to do.

My boyfriend is incarcerated. I spent days looking at different men's devotionals before finally picking this one, and I'm so glad I did. He thought I'd read it before sending it to him, it's been that relevant. It's led to conversations about the Bible that I never thought I'd have with him. It's made him interested, it's made him ask questions, we've both learned things, it's made him look at me and my walk with God in a whole new way. He's reading it in the morning so he has something to think about throughout the day and he's reading his Bible at night. I hope that God takes charge of his life and the spark this devotional has lit in him is able to thrive once he's back in the free world.

This book is a must read. I understand it is 10 years old but when you read it you forget that. It is relevant to the life we live today. Tony explores all the excuses we (men) use as to why we are not good husbands, fathers, friends etc. Tony crushes all of those excuses using the only book that really matters, the Bible. The Biblical references is what makes this book so powerful. It is one thing to read a book where someone is telling you how they made it through hard times. Most of us will read those types of books and think it does not pertain to me personally. However Tony gave Biblical examples that far exceed any struggles we have ever had in life. One of the examples is of Joseph and how he was imprisoned for all those years. Prison in Biblical times are far worse than they are today despite what stories we hear from those who have been. This book is a life changer, if you open your eyes, ears and hearts to it. It is truly inspriational and I recommend this book to every MAN to read. There is so much I want to write about this book, but I do not want to give it away. There is no excuse in this life for any shortfalls we have. If you read this book I guarantee you will find that whatever you say is holding you back is minor compared to what is in the Bible. So read this book and throw your excuses out the door.

It wasn't quite as challenging as I hoped and maybe I just wasn't in the right place to be reading it.I like the fact that it is in essence Character studies of Bible heroes and how they responded to situations and issues like integrity, purity etc.It is easy reading, but sometimes with a book like 'No More Excuses' you really don't want easy reading!

Inspiring and challenging to the modern Christian man.

It gave me really good idea and example of things inwant implement in my own life
