Tim Challies

Dai Hankey has written an extremely helpful book for men and their struggles. Focussing on the core issue of self-control, this book has the capacity to set a man free from nagging sin and shame. I would recommend it as a book to be read by all—from teen through to senior.

“A great little book”

This is a great little book, to read for yourself, or to study in a men's group. It is solidly Biblical, and full of practical application. All of us suffer self-control issues in some area of our life, and as such this book is of wide usefulness.

“Solid Foundations”

This is a clear, honest and realistic book, that above all builds on the foundations of the gospel, and is saturated throughout with gospel truth. The challenges have been penetrating, the illustrations brought much clarity, and the gospel centred wisdom brings much liberation as we battle on for self-control.

“Get into a Gang”

This book is short and punchy, and an easy read. The analogy of city walls and men's lives really resonated with me and I recognised the danger that we all face of a small breach in our 'walls'. The building process - plans, demolition, foundations and then building, and all focussed on Jesus and God's Word, is easy to understand and a helpful model. Of particular importance and relevance for all men in the church, is the chapter entitled Gang - I have bought the book for my closest friends but we are also intending to use this book to do a short series at our Men's Breakfasts in 2015.

“Spirit cement and word bricks”

The ability to build can be confused with a bodged DIY exercise that deals with the shell of a build this book takes you through foundations and site clearance and on to building the word into our lives. This is no DIY manual this is a helpful practical insight into placing our confidence in God and faith in Christ Jesus,every chapter has a useful testimony to illustrate the major point. So the biggest challenge known to man is to get building on a rock and not the sand that will sink and shift with circumstance,a God confidence that is strong and dependable for family,sex,money and church to work for God.
