GodMen: PromiseKeepers with an Edge

— Newsweek Article

Oct. 30, 2006 — This wasn't your Daddy's religious revival. Last Saturday morning, 200 Christian men gathered in a downtown warehouse in Nashville for a daylong spiritual extravaganza. Inside, strobe lights flashed, and tracks by the Killers thumped from speakers stacked on either side of a stage. Four large video screens showed clips of karate fights, car chases and "Jackass"-style stunts. Then the music lowered and Christian comedian Brad Stine appeared. With his rat-a-tat delivery and aggressive style, Stine quickly whipped the crowd into a chorus of "Amens!" "A lot of guys out there wouldn't have the balls to be here," he shouted. "Are you ready to be a man? Are you ready to kick ass? Are you ready to grab your sword and say, 'OK family, I'm going to lead you?' Buckle up. This is GodMen!" — Read the complete article »
 

No More Christian Nice Guy

— Today's Christian Woman Article

Paul Coughlin, author, Christian radio talk-show host, and married father of three, describes himself as a "former Christian nice guy." Raised in an abusive home and brought up with a warped, wimpy picture of Jesus, Paul, 39, looked around at his life six years ago and realized he was a frustrated man. "When I brought the fear-based passivity of my youth, combined with the false ideal of Mild Jesus into my marriage, fireworks exploded," Paul explains. "Providing for my family was tough because I was no match for coworkers and bosses who knew they could bowl me over. And I feared passing my emotional void onto my children." — Read the complete article »

No More Christian Nice Guy is part of
a contrarian movement ...
[where] thousands of Christian men are reaching for more forceful, more rugged expressions of their faith.

Exploding the 'Nice' Lifestyle Fallacy

Author and conference leader Paul Coughlin helps people understand and overcome the deceptive and confusing nice-guy lifestyle—and has changed the way men and women understand their faith, marriage, parenting, friendships, and responsibilities to their communities.

Nice guys, you'll discover in his series of books, hide their fear and passivity behind a fake smile and a "nice" personality that is timid and dishonest. Paul sets men free to live better, more loving, and more meaningful lives.

Experts such as Dr. Laura, Dr. James Dobson, Dr. Paul Coleman, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, and Dr. Kevin Leman, among many others, have endorsed his work on this pivotal issue, which has ruined the lives of countless men, women, and children.

Paul's work has appeared on Nightline, Newsweek, LA Times, New York Times, C-SPAN, New Man, and Today's Christian Woman, among other media. His two-part radio interview with Dr. James Dobson will air in June, 2007, in order to coincide with his article that will appear on the June issue of Focus on The Familymagazine. His article about the nice-guy problem in marriage will appear in the August edition.

If you're a man who smiles on the outside but inside is unhappy, unfulfilled, resentful, and angry, read for free the first chapter of No More Christian Nice Guy. Take advantage of its unique Study Guide, designed for both individuals and group study.

Married But Not Engaged: Why Men Check Out and What You Can Do to Create the Intimacy You Desire, helps wives of emotionally distant "nice guys" understand what they should and shouldn't do to reach their disengaged husbands and create happier marriages.

No More Jellyfish, Chickens or Wimps (June 2007 release) give parents the help they need to raise good, confident, and assertive children, instead of weak, pliable, and pleasant kids who are often targeted for abuse by adults. It shows parents how to raise spiritually wise and powerful children, not weaker kids who live for the approval of others, or who Paul describes as "spiritual veal."

Don't let these all too common problems rob you or your family of the better life that's waiting for you. Join the Good Guy Rebellion today.
