Men today have important decisions to make about family, career, and ministry. Sometimes the choices can seem overwhelming, and men end up making decisions by default—by doing what comes naturally rather than by carefully thought-out principles. In The 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make, popular author and speaker Bill Farrel gives men the hands-on decision-making tools they need to make the kinds of choices they won’t regret. Farrel encourages men to discover the joy of finding their place in God’s plan as they
explore the positive benefits of making healthy decisions
discover their personal pace in life and make decisions in keeping with that pace
develop a plan for godliness that relieves the burden of self-effort
learn to make decisions based on personal character rather than what feels right at the moment
Bill Farrel and his wife, Pam, are the cofounders and codirectors of Masterful Living, an organization that provides practical insights for personal relationships. The Farrels are also regular relationship columnists. As coauthors their books include Men Are Like Waffles—Women Are Like Spaghetti, The 10 Best Decisions Every Parent Can Make, and Red-Hot Monogamy. They have been married more than 30 years and have three children and a daughter-in-law.
“Bill Farrel’s The 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make is packed with biblical and practical wisdom. Bill lives one of the most purposeful and influential lives of anyone I know, and principles in this book, if lived out, can help any man do the same. His ‘10 Best Decisions’ list includes some decisions that might seem surprising, but are right on true. We all want to be the best ‘us’ we can be, and this book helps us get there.” —Jeff Carlsen, executive director, Cannon Beach Conference Center, Cannon Beach, OR
“There are 11 decisions to make, not 10, if you want to be a man of true strength and integrity. Decision 1 is to read this book and be intentional about the exercises to build these principles into your life. In classic Farrel style, Bill takes hundreds of major life choices and in simple to understand language delivers a practical list of godly principles that have potentially life-transforming application. Written with engaging personal illustrations and scriptural insight by a man who lives the things he writes, this book is a must read for any man serious about making a difference.” —Bob Feitl, executive pastor, Richland Bible Church, Richland, MI
“Bill Farrel has had a tremendous impact on my life through his books and ability to communicate powerful principles in practical ways. The 10 Best Decisions a Man Can Make is a must-read. Enjoy the process of being sharpened by his wisdom.” —Donnie Dee, executive director and chief operating officer, Fellowship of Christian Athletes
“Want to be a good man? Take advice from a good man. Bill Farrel has laid out an accurate and achievable format for men to succeed in all areas of their life (hint: the information on ‘why women are never content’ is alone worth the price of the book). I just wish someone had told me all this stuff when I was younger.” —Rick Johnson, author of Better Dads, Stronger Sons and The Power of a Man
