"My friend and mentor, Dr. Gene Getz, has laid a foundation for biblical manhood that any male can use to build the superstructure of a solid life."--Tony Evans, president, The Urban Alternative; senior pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship

"It strikes me that it would take either a colossal ego or deep humility to write a book subtitled 'Twenty Attributes of a Godly Man.' For nearly fifty years, Gene Getz has been my respected mentor, stellar example, treasured colleague, and beloved friend. Humility has always been his hallmark."--Jerry B. Jenkins, novelist and biographer; founder, The Jerry Jenkins Writers Guild

"Occasionally a book stands out among the mass of published literature as a 'must-read' and, in fact, a book that you know you will want to read again. Such is the case with The Measure of a Man."--Joseph M. Stowell, president, Cornerstone University, Grand Rapids, Michigan
