You already know it’s not easy being a single man in this culture today. But it is easy to be overwhelmed, to feel helpless and hopeless about living by God’s high standards for singles. It’s easy to cave in to the pressures of this sex-soaked world and accept defeat–blaming the media, the culture, even girlfriends who don’t know how tough it can be. But many men have read books like Every Young Man’s Battle and Tactics and have committed themselves to stand strong and pure in the power of God, and to go on the offensive against the onslaught of negative stereotypes. Some have suffered. Some have fallen. But many have experienced victory–and you can be among them. What makes those committed men so desirable to women? Be Her Hero is their motto. From best-selling author Fred Stoeker, along with his son Jasen, come the straightforward insight and real-life examples you’re looking for to help you take personal purity to its logical conclusion. Here’s straight truth with irrefutable evidence of what makes an ultimate hero to women who long for men of faith–men who stand by their convictions and make their world a safer and better place. Are you ready to accept the challenge?

The ultimate showdown calls for the ultimate team. Jesus and you. God sets a pretty high standard for sexual purity for his men: “Among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality” (Ephesians 5:3). Can you reach that standard? You’ve tried–and often succeeded. But if you haven’t quite finished the job, you still need the right game day tactics to defeat temptation–and be God’s champion. Tactics picks up where Every Young Man’s Battle leaves off. It explains why sexual sin is so addictive and why guys battling in the trenches to stay pure still struggle. Most of all, it unveils the spiritual front of this epic match-up and how an intimate connection to the Father is the edge needed for victory. Grab hold of these practical steps to the deeper spiritual intimacy that will neutralize the sexual pollution in today’s culture. And start living to the extreme with God.

This volume reflects the same values and format as Every man''s Battle Guide but is aimed at a younger audience.

Ao visitar sites pornográficos, admirar fotos em revistas eróticas ou despir com os olhos uma mulher diferente daquela com a qual estabeleceu uma aliança diante do Senhor, o homem comete o pecado do adultério, mesmo que não leve nenhuma outra para a cama. Chamados por Deus para viver o sexo em sua forma mais pura — através do casamento —, muitos cristãos (inclusive líderes de igrejas) estão fazendo pouco caso de um problema com potencial para destruir casamentos e ministérios. Esta denúncia dá o tom de A batalha de todo homem, um sucesso de Stephen Arterburn e Fred Stoeker que ganha uma nova edição, totalmente revisada e atualizada para refletir recentes descobertas científicas importantes para este assunto. Com a autoridade de quem já passou pelo mesmo tipo de experiência e superou com fé, convicção e disciplina, os autores mostram que um simples olhar ou pensamento pode ser suficiente para levar um homem a quebrar os laços de santidade que o unem à sua esposa. Arterburn e Stoeker fazem uma análise franca e sem rodeios sobre o tema, não apenas mostrando a realidade do problema, mas também sinalizando com soluções para que o homem de Deus controle seus olhos, sua mente e seu coração e seja capaz de resistir à tentação, recuperando a dignidade de sua união com a única mulher a quem deve dedicar toda atenção, estima, carinho, amor e desejo: a própria esposa.
