The Mark of a Man
For For men, especially young men, who want a Christian account of masculinity framed as personal counsel; readers wanting an even-handed treatment of gender debates should look elsewhere.
The Mark of a Man (Fleming H. Revell, 1981) is written as personal advice to Elisabeth Elliot's nephew. Against a culture that encouraged men and women to set aside traditional roles, she argues that men and women are not interchangeable, and sets out what she calls the glory and purpose of true masculinity, with Christ as the pattern of the true man. The book is meant to help men understand their masculinity positively, in marriage and outside it, and to accept the role she believed God had given them. It is a companion to Let Me Be a Woman, written for her daughter.
