"Steve Sonderman is the heavyweight champion of the world when it comes to building a men's ministry. If you're looking for the blueprint on how to do it, you've just found it."
--Steve Farrar, author of Point Man
"Steve Sonderman is the voice I trust to talk about men's ministry in the church more than any other. While there are many good voices speaking about men's issues and ministry, there are few who have themselves grown a strong men's community in the local church context from the ground up. The architecture described in How to Build a Life-Changing Men's Ministry, if followed closely, will produce bushels of leaders for your church.ã•I have used these principles myself at Saddleback with great results."
--Kenny Luck, Pastor of Men, Saddleback Church; author of RISK, DREAM, FIGHT, and the Every Man Bible Studies; founder of Every Man Ministries
"Steve is a man's man who presents his readers with an incredible game plan for coaching the men in your church to victory. He will inspire you to be the coach your men need, and he will give you the tools to help them grow in Christ, serve Him in the church, and be leaders in their homes, workplaces, community, and the world. This is a must-read for any pastor or men's ministry leader!"
--Dr. Tom Mullins, Co-Pastor, Christ Fellowship
"Whether you are in a big or small church, Steve's book gives invaluable insight into the opportunities available for strengthening men. How to Build a Life-Changing Men's Ministry is a book in tune with the times and the heart of God."
--Dr. Joseph M. Stowell, President, Cornerstone University
"Steve Sonderman is a man of God who knows God and understands men. Having known him for almost forty years, I can tell you he says what he means, he lives what he says, and knows what he's talking about. Just what men need!"
--Stuart Briscoe, Minister at Large, Elmbrook Church
"I have been looking for this book for years. No church can ignore this book. No seminary student should graduate without reading it. Full of realistic insights and practical suggestions, it's a much needed message and a refreshing read."
