The difficulty of emotional pain and spiritual setbacks is different from any physical challenge, and many men are not comfortable or well-equipped to grapple with them. Tony Evans gives the kind of advice and inspiration men need to battle on through the most difficult circumstances.

Girlfriend's gift for Incarcerated Man

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

My boyfriend is incarcerated. I spent days looking at different men's devotionals before finally picking this one, and I'm so glad I did. He thought I'd read it before sending it to him, it's been that relevant. It's led to conversations about the Bible that I never thought I'd have with him. It's made him interested, it's made him ask questions, we've both learned things, it's made him look at me and my walk with God in a whole new way. He's reading it in the morning so he has something to think about throughout the day and he's reading his Bible at night. I hope that God takes charge of his life and the spark this devotional has lit in him is able to thrive once he's back in the free world.

Even a white Catholic can grow with this book!!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

It definitely has the language and cadence of a Black Protestant pastor, but as a white Catholic man who doesn't know a lick of the Old Testament stories, it's been an entertaining and truly spiritually enriching story. It also hits on every issue I struggle with as a man. Really grateful for this book. Will probably go back and re-read certain chapters many times.

Good. Could be Better. But, VERY straight forward!

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2013

Very clear cut that men need to step up, wipe off the past, and get on with doing the right thing in all aspects of their lives without making any type of excuse when they don't.
I could do without the use of "homey" and other slang words when referencing biblical greats, but I guess that's where Tony may be trying to reach a certain audience.
The book is pretty spot on in describing that when men don't do the right, biblical, or even lawful thing, they make excuses that are inexcusable. There may be pathetic reasons we choose to blame for not doing what we are called to do, but reasons are not excuses. If you miss your kid's ballgame that you promised to be at, and you tell him "Sorry, I had more work to get done than I thought" that's a reason that doesn't fly. Simple fact is, you weren't there when you said you would be. Period.
I was surprised that early in the book Tony addresses black men by immediately and bluntly killing the notion that slavery is any excuse these many years later for still calling on it as an excuse.
I always appreciate Tony's straight forward manner of writing. Many scriptures are used to back up what he is saying.
I plan to use this book as an "ice breaker" for a movement at our own church to help men see that their biblical role as a man does not allow for making excuses when they fail. Buck up up and admit you failed. Get up, wipe it off, and get back to doing what you're supposed to do.

The Christian Man's Encouragement Book

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2011

Verified Purchase

There are so many areas in which a Christian man can fall into tempatation and sin, sometimes habitual sin. All Christians need encouragment to remain faithful, but especially men, and this book is directed toward men and the areas where men frequently fail. Since we all have our own unique character flaws and weaknesses, this book by Tony Evans covers all the bases and gives much needed encouragement to men who desire to remain faithfulness in their daily lives. Tony Evans uses examples from Biblical characters to show how character flaws create disaster for those who succumb to following their worldly desires. We often offer up excuses for our failings, such as "Everyone else is doing it", or "Compared to others, I'm really not all that bad". But Author Evans states that in order to become a Godly man (or woman), we must not have any excuses, thus the title of his book. So while an accountability group is probably the best way to remain faithful, books such as this one are good adjuncts and give insight into what drives sinful behavior and how to avoid the sinful snares. This is a good devotions book for personal study, or alternatively, makes a wonderful group study.

It is not easy to be a Christian in today's society. This book will help those trying to live a faithful, holy, and honorable life.

Become Inspired and Encouraged to Christian Maturity

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2017

Tony Evans has but together a great book for men. Using men of the Bible as his reference point he address modern man's problems and weaknesses and encourages up to become true disciples and mature Christians. The book is conversation and just the right balance of Dallas Theological Seminary and the street smart Tony Evans. I think all men will be inspired, encouraged and improved by studying this book!

No More Excuses, No More Shortfalls

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2008

Verified Purchase

This book is a must read. I understand it is 10 years old but when you read it you forget that. It is relevant to the life we live today. Tony explores all the excuses we (men) use as to why we are not good husbands, fathers, friends etc. Tony crushes all of those excuses using the only book that really matters, the Bible. The Biblical references is what makes this book so powerful. It is one thing to read a book where someone is telling you how they made it through hard times. Most of us will read those types of books and think it does not pertain to me personally. However Tony gave Biblical examples that far exceed any struggles we have ever had in life. One of the examples is of Joseph and how he was imprisoned for all those years. Prison in Biblical times are far worse than they are today despite what stories we hear from those who have been. This book is a life changer, if you open your eyes, ears and hearts to it. It is truly inspriational and I recommend this book to every MAN to read. There is so much I want to write about this book, but I do not want to give it away. There is no excuse in this life for any shortfalls we have. If you read this book I guarantee you will find that whatever you say is holding you back is minor compared to what is in the Bible. So read this book and throw your excuses out the door.

Found Excuses not to finish it!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 8, 2008

Verified Purchase

It wasn't quite as challenging as I hoped and maybe I just wasn't in the right place to be reading it.

I like the fact that it is in essence Character studies of Bible heroes and how they responded to situations and issues like integrity, purity etc.

It is easy reading, but sometimes with a book like 'No More Excuses' you really don't want easy reading!
