Not Your Average Guy

Not Your Average Guy charts a bold, biblical path forward in a world confused about masculinity.

With honesty, grit, and grace, Mickey Eckles challenges men to reject passivity, confront compromise, and pursue godly manhood.

These ten choices are practical, rooted in Scripture, and forged through thirty years of real-life ministry with men from every walk of life.

If you’re spiritually stuck, searching for direction, or tired of pretending, this book will meet you where you are—and call you higher.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a roadmap to strength, purpose, and freedom.

“Males are born. Men are built. And Mickey Eckles knows how to build men. Get this book. Read it. Live it. Be changed.”
