The story of David’s “mighty men” (primarily found in 2 Samuel 23) drives this challenging and encouraging book for Christian men.

In Six Battles Every Man Must Win, popular author and speaker Bill Perkins uses the story to illustrate the six battles David’s men fought, and men today must win, to become powerful and effective warriors in God's kingdom.
Be honest, guys: Have you ever made a foolish or harmful decision when angry? Have you ever said or done something in the heat of the moment that you wish you could take back? Or do you tend to keep your anger hidden, choosing to bury the feeling and hoping it just goes away? No matter how often you get angry, or how you express it, Bill Perkins (best-selling author of When Good Men Are Tempted and 6 Rules Every Man Must Break) has written this book to provide you with the insight and biblical strategy you need to deal with this crucial issue (as well as help for the women in your life who are walking through the anger with you).

The magnetism a man feels when he sees a woman's body, that sensual urge, the surge of adrenaline, dopamine, and endorphins, isn't only given for a man's gratification, but to be channeled by a man to love his wife. In this ground-breaking book, Bill Perkins identifies eight reasons why men are attracted to a woman's beauty. But he goes much further. Each answer to the question, why do naked women look so good, also reveals a woman's fundamental need and helps a man know how to meet that need. By identifying eight vital needs of a woman, and showing a husband how to meet them, Perkins provides guidance to help a man become irresistible to his wife and for living more creatively and sensitively. Chapters are organized into three parts for easy reference. The first part provides one reason why naked women look so good. The second part identifies what need this reveals in a man's wife. And in the third part, simple steps are provided to help a man love his wife in a way that strengthens her self-image, builds her confidence and allows her to more freely give herself to her husband--both emotionally and sexually.

Connie Sue Williamson Perkins's name was never in lights. She was not famous outside her family or community. She was not rich. Wife, mother, grandmother, friend, Connie was an ordinary woman with an ordinary life. Yet to those who knew and loved her, Connie was extraordinary. Her devotion to her husband and family, her commitment to the Lord and to her church, her strong opinions (and willingness to share them), and her lively sense of humor left a lasting influence on everyone around her. This collection of reminiscences written by Connie's husband, family members, pastor, friend, and caregiver will bring smiles to your face and perhaps even a tear or two. Bill, her husband, shares stories such as how he taught Connie to drive when they were newly married, how the couple coped with their daughter's serious car accident, what really happened to the neighbor's old marauding cat, and how a commode full of artificial flowers ended up on the lawn to mark Connie's birthday. The pieces together form a loving tribute to an ordinary woman who becomes extraordinary as you get to know her. Throughout the essays, God's hand is at work in the most mundane circumstances, in important life transitions, and everywhere between.

For a country that prides itself on technology and cutting edge advancements in the medical field, it is somewhat surprising that the thing that most catches our attention is not innovation, rather it is the sacrifices of the few for the betterment of the many. These Modern Day Heroes are so much more than dates and events, they are men and women with lifelong stories. A hero is not defined by one single action; rather a hero is forged by his character that triumphs at a definitive moment in time. Heroes that have given their lives in service to this country have given us more than we can ever repay. These heroes are men and women with fathers and mothers, husbands and wives; they have families that they loved and families that loved them. They are more than a heroic instance, they are the culmination of lives lived with purpose. These are the stories of the medic and the lieutenant, the police officer and the fighter pilot; these are the stories of fathers, sons, mothers, and daughters; indeed these are the stories of dedicated, hard-working Americans. The stories of these Modern Day Heroes are the stories of American sacrifice, often paid in blood, that have been made directly and indirectly on our behalf. When the story of a hero is told, people often pause at the dynamism of the story or the virtues made manifest by the hero. The reasons for this pause are as myriad as the individuals who listen to the stories. However, on the most basic level all of us pause out of the simple feeling of pride we get from hearing of great deeds done by our fellow countrymen. These Modern Day Heroes give us confidence that with all of the uncertainty in the world, American will continue to stand strong. God bless our nation's heroes, and God bless the U.S.A!
