In this companion volume to his acclaimed work Manly Piety in Its Spirit, Robert Philip explores what an active life of Christian devotion looks like in practice for men. Whereas the first book laid out Philip’s vision for integrating biblical masculinity and vigorous discipleship, Manly Piety in its Realizations reveals what this ideal translates to in real world habits, relationships, and work.
Philip begins by focusing on men’s personal spiritual habits, unpacking the disciplines of prayer, scripture reading, self-examination, and meditation. He then turns to character and shows how traits like integrity, courage, self-control and compassion manifest themselves in daily life. The bulk of the book illustrates manly piety lived out in marriage, friendship, parenting, professional endeavors, and service to the church and wider community.
Throughout, Philip provides inspiration and advice by highlighting biblical figures and contemporary biographies of Christian men whose faith was authenticated by their actions. He also addresses potential objections and discusses navigating the tensions and limitations of living out one’s faith in a fallen world. In Manly Piety in its Realizations, Philip contends that when pursued with diligence and grace, robust masculine Christianity results in an embodiment of the Gospel that beautifully impacts every sphere of a man’s life.
Written with Philip’s trademark intellectual vigor and pastoral warmth, this book provides men seeking to live out a vigorous faith with godly wisdom, guidance, and inspiration for the journey. It serves as an invaluable manual for translating lofty principles into practical habits, relationships, and service as modern disciples of Jesus Christ.
