Dr Cole shares his revelation concerning how the Children of Israel were denied entry into Cannon as a result of 5 unrepentant sins. These were Lust, idolatry, fornication, tempting Christ and murmuring which Cole goes on to unpack and describe. Cole feels that these same sins are preventing men today from reaching their full potential or as he as termed it, ‘Maximized Manhood’. Dr Cole asks men to confront the sin in their lives and confess it to God with a changed heart and changed attitude. Often the temptation is to nullify the Holy Spirit’s power to transform our lives by refusing to be convicted and instead reclassify sin as mistakes, mishaps, slipups or weaknesses.
Cole basically says it’s time to ‘man up’ and take responsibility. As men we are called to be the head of the household, but in many cases we have abdicated our duty by either fleeing the family unit or staying there but in an ineffectual manner.
This book was published in 1982, 27 years ago, the year I was born; yet is it’s message is just as relevant as it was back then. It was recommended from the platform of a men’s conference I attended as the book that turned the speaker’s life around and saved his struggling marriage. He had already reached the divorce courts when he found it. With over a million copies in print I’m sure this is the testimony of many men. It is the first Edward Cole book that I’ve read, but it wont be the last as I’ve just ordered two more on the strength of it. So, what’s the fuss about?
Why should you read this book? For me personally, the chapter that that challenged me the most was Chapter 7 – ‘Is there a priest in the house?’ As Christian men, we are called to be prophets, priests and kings to our families. They way my daughters see me, will greatly influence their view of God. That’s a scary thought!?!
This was a wake up call for me that I need to be more authoritative than authoritarian. This is essential reading for all men, fathers, husbands, sons. It is filled with golden nuggets and is a book that you can read and re read. I first read it many years ago and have just read it again. I had the privilege of hearing Dr Ed Cole speak live in Johannesburg and it is wonderful that his great legacy lives on through his books.

If you are a man that feels that you haven't reached the pinnacle of all that God has for you, the first chapter will grip you as Dr Cole identifies the five things that stop men from reaching the Promised Land.
It's high time we get these five things out of our lives so that we can live in victory, be better fathers, husbands, brothers and sons. Dr Cole inspires men to be men, his golden nuggets are deeply rooted in my mind. I highly recommend this life-changing book. I was cleaning out my house when this book, and it was extremely hard to read this book without laughing. Of course, the Christian world has their idea how a man should act and dress but this guy has taken it to the next level. This book has everything you would expect from a traditional Christian book, several obvious grammatical and spelling mistakes, anger over trivial things, and using the word 'I' like a teenager.

This book has everything you would expect from a traditional Christian book, several obvious grammatical and spelling mistakes, anger over trivial things, and using the word 'I' like a teenager. There were times that it felt like he was trying to convince me (and maybe himself) that he has some significants in this world, especially in the beginning and ending of chapters. In the middle of his chapters, he preaches about a vague explanation of how the world should look like under the laws of the Bible, but even a theist like me gets pretty lost in his analogies. Overall, if you are a conservative Christian, you would like this book. But outside of this, this book is pretty terrible. However, I did think of one good use for this book.
Having a book club and using this book as a shining example of why young people are leaving the church in droves. Overall: I think there is a lot to learn about being a man in this book. The book was easy to read and allowed me to digest the book pretty easily. It is written in a very straightforward manner in a style meant to grab a man's attention.
It's not my favorite book on manhood, but it's definitely worth a read. The Good: -Human wisdom wants to cover up sin (think about politicians) and godly wisdom uncovers sin.

This often requires us to change the way we interact with other people. We need to address our shortfalls honestly and work to set an example for our families and those around us.
