The Higher Mandate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781628396584)

Gentlemen, it's time to "Man Up" by taking the mandate to "God Up." It's about going back to the basics and, men, that means bringing back courtship into your relationship/marriage and viewing your relationship through God's eyes and not the world's. In his first book, The Higher Mandate, author Raul Stamp discusses how God's purpose to create Adam, as a provider, warrior and competitor, still applies to who men should be in today's modern world. The art of "manning up" is to allow God's truths and principles of respect, love and responsibility to permeate households, marriages and especially men themselves. This is the only way men can escape Satan's hold on them and feel the assurance of God's powerful love once more. Raul uses examples from his troubling first marriage and subsequent divorce to demonstrate the pitfalls men can find themselves in when the enemy is in control. By embracing the lessons God supplied through scripture as well as going back to the basics of relational courtship, Raul found a deep appreciation for who he was in God and who he could be as a husband to his second wife and better father for his children. Take the challenge; "Man up" for God! "We have come to a place where society has no problem using the most visible mediums to spread, on a mass level, the message that men are weak, incapable buffoons, fit only to be ridiculed and bested by women in every arena. It's the lie of the enemy. Our women are not our competition. We are the torchbearers, and we are called to be an example to the world of who our Father is. The best way we can do that is to love the way He loves us. That is the beginning of manhood." -Raul Stamp
