From highlighting social injustice to building infrastructure to feeding the hungry, there are men doing ground-breaking work for good all over the world.

Stand-Up Guys features inspiring stories of Christian men who have made an impact on their communities. Being a man can mean many things, and boys should know they can follow any path they want and still change the world. Featuring important historical figures such as Eric Liddell and George Washington Carver and more recent heroes, such as Robby Novak, aka “Kid President,” and Chef José Andrés, this book will inspire young men to change the world.

Stand-Up Guys features:

• 50 biographical profiles of current and historical men of faith
• Historical and current figures that haven’t been featured elsewhere
• A colorful interior with illustrations

My thoughts (LVH):  STAND-UP GUYS is a brilliant idea that fell flat. The illustrations are awful, and quite a few of the men included had me asking why. There is a wide variety of cultures, religions, and nationalities included, and the text is open and friendly. If a boy or man in your life is interested, it might be a book to consider.  I'm not excited about this book, but don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself.
