Malestrom builds on and expands previous books by Carolyn Custis James to explore the idea of manhood, a growing issue both in the wider culture and in the church. Until now, the entire discussion has been largely reduced to Western conceptions. Instead, James here shows how our culture s narrow definitions of manhood are upended when we consider the examples of men in the Bible and Jesus gospel. Together, they show a whole new Kingdom way of being male and forging men and women into the Blessed Alliance."
