Meat for Men

Meat for Men is Leonard Ravenhill's follow-up to his best selling classic, Why Revival Tarries. Originally published in 1961, this edition was re-released in paperback by Christian Life Publishers in 2008. Like all of Ravenhill's books, Meat for Men is a challenging collection of sermons and essays on Christian holiness, revivalism and soul-winning. This book is not for the faint-of-heart or the casual Christian. Ravenhill is unafraid to threaten the carnal carnival religious atmosphere of the modern church that dares to pass itself off as anointed Christianity. He pulls no punches and never apologizes for his blunt attacks on materialism, Romanism, Communism and modernism, and their compromising ecumenical allies in the Body of Christ. This is one reason why he entitled this collection Meat for Men. Real men of God should be able to handle this strong meat of the Word and use it to take stock of their own condition. Not to say that women can't read this book. But as the Bible declares, iron sharpens iron (and reading this book sure beats banging a drum at a PromiseKeepers Rally). Ravenhill's attacks on Communism may seem dated but keep in mind how socialism/liberalism have joined forces with modernistic Protestantism to supplant conservative evangelicalism in the US and the UK. It's tragic and proves that the leftist threat is still a threat, even if it has a kinder, more church-friendly face. And if you replace Cold War era Soviet Communism with Post-9-11 Islamo-fascism it all looks more relevant than ever before. My only complaint is that, at 135 pages, this book is entirely too short. So read it twice. The 21st Century church needs more convicting ministries like Ravenhill's. Highly Recommended.

The book is good but it also a little bit of a let down as well. Considering this was only work that I didn't own I found themes covered better in his other works. As good as it was I also wish he would have expounded more. Perhaps my expectations were a little to high but a lesser work by comparison. I've listened to hundreds of his sermons and feel the themes are better covered in Why Revival Tarries and Revival Praying. Still if this were the only book of his I've read I would perhaps give a higher rating. I do appreciate the authors courage whether he's attacking hypocrisy or Catholicism or ecumenisism.

Well worth the read! I liked Why Revival Tarries by Ravenhill even more, but this book is still gr eww at. It is a great challenge to seek revival.

This is a book every believer should read. Very inspiring. If read with an open heart and honest desire it will deliver you the normal Christian life. Far from being overrated as some would suggest it should be a 10 star if that were an available option. Read it dear Christian, I dare you!

Listen if your a man or the mother/wife of a man or boy this is a blessing for your loved ones! Please get this book! I used my wife’s account to order it and wish as a young man someone would have told me of this book!

Meat for Men (as is all of Ravenhill's publications) is inspiring. Ravenhill pulls no punches as he addresses the Body of Christ. He shows us our weaknesses as so-called witnesses of a risen and mighty Christ! I read Ravenhill because I don't want a watered-down message. I read Ravenhill because I want to be inspired to be as God would have me to be. I read Ravenhill because it is clear he was fully committed to the cause of Christ. If you want to be pampered, stay away from Ravenhill.

I like Leonard Ravenhill's writing. He is not afraid to tell the full story. However, this book is being touted as a sequel to "Why Revival Tarries". This book was good, but didn't quite make the same impact on me that "Why Revival Tarries" did. It had good content, and was encouraging, but I doubt if I would read it again.

Great book. Great insights that can be applied to everyday life. Leonard Ravenhill was a gifted preacher and teacher. In "Meat for Men" he gives valuable exposition on bible truths that we hear as children and explains how those truths are relevant for today. I recommend this book.

Powerful

Ravenhill cuts to the heart of the problems in North American Christianity. Hard-hitting, eloquent and fervent. I recommend this book. Easy to read, but meaty.
