What makes an "average man" into a "model man?" A model father, husband, citizen, businessman, politician, or athlete who possibly hundreds of other men could look to as their "example worth imitating?" America and many other nations of the world are plagued with mediocre, passive, impure and disappointing examples of men in every sphere of life. Their wives are unhappy, their children are rebellious, their finances are out of order, their sexual life is out of control, their commitments mean nothing, and their life has no purpose. Where are the men whose lives and characters carried such substance that they inspired armies of men to push aside their foolish ways and lead their families and communities with honor? Where are the men whose integrity is so impeccable that their "life" became a "legacy" as they remained stedfast to their principles of purity, godly example, and purpose? YOU are that "model man." Pastor Larry Stockstill has been training pastors and businessmen in the principles of "integrity that leads to legacy" for over forty years. His ministry has brought him from the poorest villages of Africa as a missionary to leading a Bible study for the Governor of Louisiana for six years. Following the godly example of his ninety-five year old minister father, Roy Stockstill, he is imparting to a new generation what it means to live a life of "integrity, purity, and example." He is demonstrating the "pace of grace" where your career and life finishes as well as it begins. He is illustrating "purpose of life" with it's highest goal of "pleasing God." Drawing from his 38 years of marriage to his wife, Melanie, and his six godly children who are all serving Christ in the church, Pastor Larry shares the principles of "how to have a happy wife" and "how to raise godly children." Finally, the culmination of all of these principles, practically taught and applied, will produce the most treasured and sought after prize in all of life: a "legacy." Paul told the Thessalonians that his goal was to "make ourselves a model for you to follow" (2 Thess. 3: 9, NIV). God can change your from a MESS into a MODEL! This book is simple, short, and straight-forward. It is practical and easily applied. It is not "fluff" and "hype" about leadership but gets down to the real issues that will distinguish you as a leader whose family, neighbors, company and country will honor. Are you tired of the "mediocre" and ready to become a "model of good works" (Titus 2: 7, ESV)? Take the "model man" journey from "integrity to legacy." Develop a small group of men who will allow each chapter to look into their lives, their heart, their thought life, their motives, and their money. It is our genuine belief that when you reach the "legacy" chapter, you will be a TOTALLY DIFFERENT MAN: "a model man!"
