About
Play the man. Make the man.
Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, and relationships and the reason God made them men. It's into this "no-man's-land" that New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: Play the man.
In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first heard the voice from heaven say, "Play the man". Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men who will put God first, family second, and career third.
This is more than an audiobook; it's a movement of men who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling to be the men and the fathers God has destined them to be.

Just look how far we've come...
Picture it. South Africa, circa 1999. You can't wait to get home, not to do homework or anything - let's get real, how much of that did you actually do? No, you just couldn't wait to get your hands on their classic Nokia cellphone so that you could spend the afternoon beating your previous score on Snake.
Fast forward a few years later and you had your very own brick of a phone with which to play games, try out polyphonic ringtones and send SMSs JUST long enough to not use up all your airtime and start sending Please Call Me's.
These days, smartphones are the name of the game, and we don't even need to sing their praises, goodness knows you can probably get them to do that themselves. From scrolling through social media to snapping millions of selfies, if it ain't a smartphone like our main deal, we ain't interested. We do miss playing Snake, though.
