About the Book
31 days of humor, history, and the deeper meaning of the Godly beard
Is there a connection between hairiness and holiness? Absolutely. Godly men have been growing facial foliage since the beginning of time, and church history is filled with Christians who gloried in male-pattern magnificence. This book will help you see that every hair can be a prayer, every collar-cover an offering of love.
Of course, Bearded Gospel Men is about more than just beards. It’s about manliness and godliness, both of which seem to be in short supply these days. Each of the 31 stories in this book includes a verse of the day, a quote to contemplate, and a prayer—all geared to inspire men toward embracing their follicular faithfulness and joining a larger conversation about living faithfully in a world that desperately needs the gospel.
So dive in and enjoy the woolly wisdom of these bearded gospel men!
