Rules of Engagement: Finding Faith and Purpose in a Disconnected World

This is a very good book. I highly recommend it for all men, teens, and boys. All men who are fathers should get this book and read it and then pass it on to their sons. If you want to be the best husband and father you can be then you need to read this book.

I've been in an accountability group with other men for over 16 years. Even so, reading this book rekindled my passion for investing time and energy into my accountability partners. Chad shares from his heart and is very transparent in his writing. His athletic and military background are impressive and will peak most men's interest but his life journey is actually one that most of us can relate to. Regardless of our backgounds, our basic needs and questions about life are similar. I recommend this book to any man who is evaluating his priorities in life.

It's going to be the perfect gift for a Christian man who is a real fan of the Cowboys.

I have read quite a few books that are entertaining and interesting. It isn't often I come across one that is not only entertaining and interesting, but it is essential reading for its target audience, which is males from about 15 to 25. Of course, men over 25 will enjoy the book too, but the values message in Rules of Engagement is so important that it should be read in the years in which moral values are forming. The author describes how men in our society become emotionally disconnected from other men and from God. From his years as an Air Force pilot, he describes how important a "wingman" is to the pilot and how he has applied that concept into a civilian ministry. Chad's style is not "preachy", but instead he offers a two part plan. In the first part he describes the challenges and talks about building character, work ethic, balance, and spirituality. He calls this part Basic Training. In the second part, or Active Duty, he describes a plan to live a life that is honorable and fulfilling. Although Chad Hennings writes about his own life in football, the military and his own weaknesses, he does not focus the book on himself. The book is about men and how to live their lives for God. I would recommend this book for all men, but especially for high school and college students, a graduate gift, men just starting out in the work world, Sunday School classes, and church libraries.
