That’s the title of an article I read this morning that I will link to at the bottom of this short post. I found the article because a post popped up in my FB feed about a book called “The DNA of a Man: How Your God-Given Masculinity Rebuilds Your Mind, Your Marriage, and Your Mission” that the post author was selling directly for $7:00 that Amazon also sells for $7:99 (Kindle) and $19:99 (Hardcover and Paperback).
The FB post talked about all the things that the author had tried in order to overcome all sorts of problems with his marriage and how he had been totally emasculated by his wife. He had tried everything in areas connected to his faith (church going, doing what his church taught him about loving and serving his wife, etc) and they had all failed.
He “discovered” (God told him) how to regain his “God-given masculinity” and promised that if you would just buy his book all sorts of great things would happen. Per his ad, you could even find out the hidden key to God’s design for masculinity that’s in the book of Genesis!
Since I am old and have read and studied the Bible for a few decades now and have never found God’s plan for my “masculinity” taught in its pages, my FB comment to “Follow the money.” wasn’t well received. I was finally blocked, but not after I posted a couple of quotes from the article I am referencing that clearly stated what the Bible says about being a godly man.
Anyhow, here’s the link to the article. I didn’t find anything new about being a man of God, but I did find out the roots of the “Christian masculinity” movement.
