Men are confronted on every turn by our society that keeps trying to press them into its idea of what a man is. Television, magazines, advertising all paint a picture of the American male that is not biblical. Our heritage also militates against a healthy male view. Many men have that "Frontier Mentality" which espouses a false sense of self-sufficiency. Dr. David W. Smith cuts through all of this and brings us back to a true biblical view of how men need to build and maintain healthy friendships. Dr. Smith gives men a a biblical foundation and a plan of action for change. When we look at current trends in our society-only 14 percent of households by 1990 being the traditional family unit with the wife working in the home and husband outside-it is all the more important that men know who they are and what God would have them doing. The Friendless American Male gives us help in being the men God wants us to be in our relationships with others. This study will be good for women also. One of the hardest
relationships to maintain, many times, is between a husband and wife. Chapter 10 is written especially for women. It not only addresses improving the relationship with her husband, but also building positive habits in her sons. Women will benefit greatly from this study.
