Twenty Years of Ministry to Men
 In 2006, Man in the Mirror will publicly thank
and honor God for twenty years of ministry to
men. We will have various events throughout
the year, including a special celebration at the
Friday morning Bible Study on February 24,
2006 in Orlando.
If you have a testimony or encouraging word
about this ministry, please consider sharing it
with us. We are looking for testimonies in
writing as well as on video. For more information,
please contact thea.risa@maninthemirror.org.

Announcing THE FOURTH SEED:
A Leadership Magazine for Men
But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil [the ‘fourth seed’] is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. (Matthew 13:23)
 The Fourth Seed is a “thought leadership” publication for the Christian men’s movement with daily devotions to encourage, inform, and equip leaders in the battle for men’s souls. This bi-monthly magazine will encourage leaders on a daily basis with ideas, stories, and truth that God can use to enhance their ministry.
We believe it will become a rallying point for the cause of evangelizing and discipling men. Do you have an encouraging testimony or tip regarding men’s discipleship? Email it to: thefourthseed@maninthemirror.org and we may include it in an upcoming edition of The Fourth Seed.
Financial partners of Man in the Mirror will receive The Fourth Seed automatically. Others may order a subscription for $24 per year. For more information or to order your subscription to The Fourth Seed, please email us at the following: thefourthseed@maninthemirror.org.

Where are all the men?
“Jesus had no trouble captivating men. Fishermen dropped nets full of fish to follow Him, but today’s church can’t convince men to drop their TV remote controls for a couple of hours a week.” -- David Murrow, from his website: www.churchformen.com
Check out this interesting overview of the facts about male involvement in the church at: www.churchformen.com/allmen.php. Also, see David’s comments on his time in Orlando at the leadership summit on the front page of his website.

You’re Kidding, Right?
No, These New Books for $1 Are For Real!
Why not use Books for $1 to reach men (and women) this Christmas? We don’t think there’s an easier, more cost effective way to share the Gospel, start new relationships, or disciple men than with Books for $1. This year we’ve added 3 new titles to make it even easier:
-
The Search for Significance by Robert S. McGee
-
Transforming Grace by Jerry Bridges
-
God Came Near, a Christmas classic by Max Lucado
Any of these titles would make great outreach gifts (for your members to give to their friends and neighbors), stocking stuffers, or small-group igniters. Log on to www.maninthemirror.org/booksfor1dollar or simply call Corrie at 800-929-2536 to learn more.

Billy Graham Said You Should Read This Book
“The Search for Significance should be read by every Christian,” said Billy Graham. And we think you should too…with your small group. What makes this book unique? The journey begins in a very private place: your thoughts. When others don’t approve of me, I can’t seem to get over it...Sometimes it feels like I’ll never measure up...These thoughts trigger the cycle of self-doubt, robbing you of joyful living.
Now is the perfect time to discover The Search for Significance with your small group, Sunday school class, or home group. Books are available in cases of 48 for $50.00 plus s/h. They can be ordered online at www.maninthemirror.org/booksfor1dollar or by phone at 800-929-2536.
Your journey begins with this step. Read the book. Free yourself and others from the lies. A new LIFE awaits you.
