“Checkpoints lays out clear actionable strategies and tactics that,
when applied, transform young men into emerging leaders.”
Don Rockwell, Author of Leadership Freak Blog/Twitter
“We live in a society of boys who shave and the need for a
biblical understanding of manhood is at an all time high. Into the white noise
of grown boys playing endless hours of video games and teenagers desensitized
from a bombardment of pornographic and violent images comes Checkpoints. I am so grateful to Brian
Mills and Nathan Wagnon for creating a forty-day journey that readjusts the
trajectory of development so that a young man can capture a vision for what it
means to be a man of God.”
Brent
Crowe, Vice President of Student Leadership University and author of Chasing Elephants
“We live in a culture in which a young man can
often be described more accurately not as man but as a ban – half boy half man.
Yet Scripture offers repeated
examples of young men – Joseph, David, Daniel, and others – who demonstrated
the life of a godly young man. This
book offers helpful counsel to young men in vitals areas to help them become
not males, but men. And we need
men.”
Alvin L. Reid,
PhD, Professor of Evangelism and Student Ministries / Bailey Smith Chair of
Evangelism, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, North
Carolina
“Young guys need to be discipled in their faith. Having a plan to do
so is a must. Checkpoints is that
plan. We need a generation that will rise up with a strong vibrant
passion for Christ and a willingness to be used in any way to change
the world. Checkpoints will
be one of the major tools that can be used to disciple the next
generation. Buy it. Share it with others. Use it!”
Dr. Ronnie
Floyd, Senior Pastor of Cross Church and author of Our Last Great Hope
“There are very few books that I want to put in
the hands of every young man in our student ministry to read . . . but this is
one of them.” “I praise God for the message in this book! Checkpoints
will encourage and inspire young men to trust in the Lord with all their hearts.”
Keith
Harmon, Youth Pastor, Cross Church, Springdale, Arkansas
“Checkpoints is an invaluable
resource that speaks directly to the very heart and issues of young men. This is a practical, daily call for men
to stand up. I love it and can't
wait to use it with the guys I disciple.”
Matt Lawson, High School
Pastor, First Baptist Woodstock
“After working with collegiate athletes for nearly 20 years, I have seen
a lot of good boys, but very few Godly men. We live a world that has
become deficient in manhood. This book is a great resource to help young
men navigate the battlefield of life and not just survive, but thrive!”
Lance Brown, Founder
and Director of WhoUWith? Ministries, "Pastor" to Vanderbilt
Athletics
“I wish I could tell you this is a book that you
can't put down. But it's not. It's a book you may have to put
down. In fact, you might even want
to throw it away or burn it at times. But let the radical call of Jesus
within these pages make its claim on your life as a young man and watch man of
God emerge.”
Dr. Alex
Himaya, Founding and Senior Pastor, The Church At BattleCreek, Tulsa, OK
“Most guidebooks for teenagers focus merely on lists of moral tips
and principles that teens should live out to be "good Christians." The problem is that this approach fails
to reveal to teenagers the truth that works-based righteousness is no
righteousness at all. This book is
refreshingly different because Brian and Nathan emphasize that the gospel
destroys attempts at works-based righteousness. They are also very pastoral in
their approach because they understand that a good gospel theology must be
lived out in the practical everyday activities of life. This 40-day study shows
how the gospel addresses major everyday struggles of teenagers like pride, the
pressure to perform in order to be accepted, facing failures, and many more!”
Nathan
Akin, Discipleship Pastor at Imago Dei Church
“Brian Mills and
Nathan Wagnon are men who love God and are strategic in developing young men.
Their new book, Checkpoints is an
incredible resource for High School guys. Written as a devotional, each day is
packed with Scripture, insight and application for developing students into the
man God has created them to be. If
you are looking for a tool that equips guys to fight temptation and live
passionately for God, this it!”
Jeff Borton, Pastor of Students, Christ
Fellowship, Miami, Co-author, Simple
Student Ministry
As I read my Bible, I find many principles that help me to
be disciplined in my Christian walk. Brian Mills & Nathan Wagnon have
blessed the body of Christ by writing his new book, Checkpoints, which
will help a generation of teenagers and young men to have principles and
practices that can lead them into a disciplined life and help them to be the
Christians that Christ died for them to become. I encourage you to place
this book in the hands of your young people. Also, encourage your Bible
study leaders to read it and teach it. They will be glad they did.
Dr. Johnny
Hunt Pastor First Baptist Church Woodstock, Ga.
“Every
young man needs to have checkpoints in his life; checkpoints that allow him to
stop and honestly evaluate the direction his heart and life is pointing.
This book allows a young man to take a hard look at the most important areas of
his life and it gives practical and biblical wisdom when and where he needs it
the most.”
Jordan Easley
Teaching Pastor & Lead
Student Pastor; Second Baptist Houston
You won’t find a better book for
young men than “checkpoints.” I love the mixture of creativity and
spirituality that Brian and Nathan take us on in the journey through 8 Critical
“Checkpoints” in becoming a stronger man of God. This is a must
read that is both Timely and great!
