The True Measure of a Man: How Perceptions of Success, Achievement, & Recognition Fail Men in Difficult Times

“Richard tells men who they really are. He gives them what they need to finally ‘get it.’” —from the foreword by Jerry Leachman

Men just “get” this book! It seems to resonate with them. Men who don’t normally read many books read this one and then want to get it into the hands of others. Why? Because Richard Simmons “gets it”—he identifies the ultimate issue all men face regardless of their age, occupation, or marital status.

“Men so often define themselves by what they do, who they know, or what they own. And when they do so, they unwittingly set themselves up for great confusion and failure in their personal lives.” —Richard Simmons

Gathering support from the writings of noted authors and social commentators, Christian and secular, Simmons emphatically reminds us that every man at some point in life suffers misfortune. No one is exempt. However, the challenges of life offer men the potential for great good. In the midst of these struggles, Simmons writes, we have the opportunity to see our lives transformed.

The True Measure of a Man is uplifting, challenging, and most of all it points the way to personal and spiritual growth—based on the one, true measure we were meant to use!

The True Measure of a Man creates a new benchmark for success. With the free, downloadable study guide, it serves as a superb resource for men’s groups and church ministries. This book will change your life…and, perhaps, the lives of those closest to you.
