Men are in crisis. From every direction, they
are presented with a deformed masculinity. One that sees women as conquests
rather than partners. One that values success at work over success at home. One
that hinders true and open friendships with other men who hold them up and hold
them accountable. One that presents them as either the bumbling, disconnected
dad in sitcoms or the predator in movies and video games (and the news). Men
were made for more than this. It’s time to rekindle the fire living inside of
them and awaken them to the value of valiant, righteous manhood.
Through inspiring stories and hard-hitting
biblical truths, Stephen Mansfield uncovers the seven fires that ought to burn
in a man’s soul–the fires of destiny, heritage, friendship, love, battle,
legacy, and God. This raw guide to the restoration of a noble, honorable
manhood will challenge men of every generation to live well, invest in others,
and leave a powerful legacy.

Biography
Stephen
Mansfield is a New York Times bestselling author and a popular speaker who also
leads a media training firm based in Washington, DC.
He first rose to global attention with his groundbreaking book “The Faith
of George W. Bush,” a bestseller that Time magazine credited with helping
to shape the 2004 US presidential election. The book was a source for Oliver
Stone’s award-winning film “W.” Mansfield’s “The Faith of Barack
Obama” was another international bestseller. He has written celebrated
biographies of Booker T. Washington, George Whitefield, Winston Churchill, Pope
Benedict XVI, and Abraham Lincoln, among others. Publishers Weekly described
his book, “Killing Jesus,” as “masterful.”
Stephen’s humorous but fiery “Mansfield’s Book of Manly Men” has
inspired men’s events in the US and abroad. His more recent “The Miracle
of the Kurds” has been selected as “Book of the Year” by Rudaw, the
leading Kurdish news service. As a result of this book, Mansfield has become a
respected voice in support of the Kurds against the evils of ISIS in the Middle
East.
Stephen speaks widely about men, leadership, faith, the lessons of history, and
the forces that shape modern culture. His media training firm, The Mansfield
Group, has worked with top politicians, CEOs, rock stars, major publishing
firms, and educational institutions around the world.
Mansfield lives in Nashville and the nation’s capital with his wife Beverly, an
