Several things touch me about Jerry White’s Dangers Men Face. First, he shares authentically from his own journey! No arrogant pontificating here—just a brother walking alongside us all. Jerry also takes a deep, comprehensive dive into so many areas of struggle specific to a man’s life and masterfully connects specific biblical texts to each theme. Finally, and most importantly, sprinkled throughout is a compelling invitation to allow our healing and obedience to flow from our intimate love relationship with Jesus. Thanks, Jerry, for caring about us as brothers and pouring out your heart and years of wisdom on our behalf!

I know of no one better qualified to speak on crucial men’s issues than Jerry White. His years of experience working with men regarding issues they face is invaluable! The ability to change society hinges on influencing men’s worldview and spiritual awareness.

Dangers Men Face is an excellent resource for men, individually or in small-group discussions. Get it, use it, and see God work in the lives of men.
Jerry is a spiritual leader who has lived life to the full. When he speaks on loss, danger, and sin, he writes as one who has been there and experienced the pain and joy of life. These aren’t empty platitudes but the real wisdom of a man who has lived what he’s teaching.
In this twenty-fifth-anniversary edition, Jerry White brings us the fullness of who he is to help us think through and navigate life as men.

Jerry has been a mentor and friend for all my adult life. His vulnerability and wisdom have shown me how to navigate the balance between the exhilaration of an active life and its inherent dangers. If you are an honest man, you know already that unexpected and unseen dangers can lead to disaster for the unprepared. Dangers Men Face will prepare you for the obvious and the hidden dangers ahead. By all means, embrace the excitement of this life you’ve been given; but please join the company of the wise by using this book to open your eyes and prepare you for what lies ahead.
Every pilot knows that it is dangerous to fly through a thunderstorm, or in icing conditions, or to attempt to land in dense fog. They are not born knowing these dangers. The dangers must be taught to them lest they learn through death-defying experience. The same holds true for the dangers men face in their daily flight through life, and Jerry White, in his straightforward and compelling writing style, has authored the primer that, if taken to heart, can help one avoid the many death-defying spiritual experiences we men face.
A powerful book that provides relevant and meaningful antidotes to navigate successfully through “five critical areas of danger that every man will face”—loss, sin, freezing, confusion, and withdrawal. In addition to helping readers spot and avoid unwise decisions that could maim or destroy a marriage or reputation, the book equips readers to finish life well in the “fourth quarter” by providing the ingredients to renew both the inner and outer man.
When Jerry started revising Dangers Men Face, I asked him to include a new chapter about one’s identity in the fourth quarter of life (after age sixty). Most of our activity in life focuses on the first three quarters. But what’s the role of identity in a Christian’s fourth-quarter game plan? Being a follower of Jesus doesn’t shield us from the challenges awaiting us in the fourth quarter. Are we relying on our résumé virtues of the first three quarters to carry us through the fourth? Or are we strengthening the character virtues that are emphasized at our eulogy? Jerry addresses these critical questions and many more, including: Does a Christian’s game plan change in the fourth quarter—and is it more offensive or defensive? How do unexpected challenges and our changing physical abilities in the fourth quarter affect our identity and our game plan? This revised edition is a must-read, shedding new light on how we think about identity in the fourth quarter.
