| FREE Book for Pastors and Leaders
We believe nothing has the potential to change the world like reaching men. The men of tomorrow are the sons and youth of today. Man in the Mirror is proud to offer The Dad in the Mirror and The Young Man in the Mirror to those who want to reach today's generation of youth and children.
Why not take every 9th grade boy in your church through The Young Man in the Mirror as a rite of passage? The Dad in the Mirror is great for small groups or for encouraging individual dads with the revolutionary idea of fathering the heart rather than fathering for performance.
If you will give a copy of either The Dad in the Mirror or The Young Man in the Mirror to a pastor or other leader, we'll send you one for only the cost of shipping ($3.50 for one, $5.00 for both). Call Man in the Mirror today at (800) 929-2536 for this special offer.
Risk Factors for Heart Attacks
In a recent study, researchers concluded that nine major risk factors could account for almost 90% of heart attacks (up from previous estimates of 50%). These risk factors affect both men and women and cross ethnic and geographic boundaries.
The most significant of the nine risk factors are cigarette smoking and a poor ratio of bad to good cholesterol. The study suggests that these two indicators can predict nearly two-thirds of heart attacks. The other risk factors are high blood pressure, diabetes, abdominal obesity, stress and depression, a lack of fruits and vegetables, and a lack of daily exercise. This study seemed to indicate that modest alcohol consumption (three to five drinks per week) was a slightly protective factor.
The scriptures indicate that our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit. Does your ministry to men encourage them take care of themselves physically as well as spiritually?
Internet Safety - Free Accountability Software
The Internet is killing men and teenagers. We hear from people every day who have been devastated, and you probably do to. Integrity Online is making available a free tool to help in this battle - FREE Internet accountability software.
This service tracks websites visited from a specific computer, then regularly sends a report of potentially inappropriate sites accessed to an accountability email address you designate. This does not block any websites and is not a filter (Integrity Online also sells filtering service), but rather a report of the websites that have been visited on this computer.
To install this free service on your computer, go to www.integrity.com
Quarterback Challenge
Do you spend as much time in Bible reading and prayer as you do watching football on television?
Brought to you by Honorbound Men’s Ministry, the Quarterback Challenge is an exciting plan that helps men to give God their personal best every day for 20 weeks - the length of the NFL football season. It takes only 15 minutes a day - the length of an NFL game quarter. As football season approaches, organize a "team" of men to take the Quarterback Challenge together.

1 Long Summer + 2 Hurricanes = ?
What do you get when you add 1 long summer to 2 hurricanes? We know one thing, you don't get a budget surplus!

As always, please fulfill your commitment to your local church first. And be sure that we know this ministry is not about us, it's about what we can do to help you reach and disciple more men.
