Books with author Patrick Parrinder

In The Dude’s Guide to Manhood, pastor, author and dude Darrin Patrick charts a course back toward real manliness, mapping out a vision to help men find significance and influence in today’s broken, mixed-message culture. Revealing his own frailties and missteps, Darrin doesn’t preach at you but walks with you on a journey toward healing and wholeness. Filled with timeless wisdom, accessible insights and practical guidance, The Dude’s Guide issues an encouraging and doable call to all men, whatever your age or stage. We need not settle for wandering aimlessly through our days, wounded, weak, and passive. Instead, we can get back on the trail, embrace our gifts while facing our imperfections, and trust the God of new beginnings to lead us into all that we are destined to become: forgiven, connected, determined, teachable, content, heroic, and so much more.This study guide is here to help you face reality. Darrin's goal in writing The Dude’s Guide was to provide a practical vision for manhood. This study guide has been written to stress the everyday realities of growth as men.As stressed throughout The Dude’s Guide, one of the issues plaguing men is their own isolation. Rediscovering true manhood for ourselves occurs as we relate to other men. This study guide can certainly be used for personal study, but Darrin's hope is that groups of men will gather to pursue growth together through this material.
