Some would say a hearty \"Yes!\" In fact, the world is in the middle of a beard mania. Events like Movember and Decembeard are becoming global movements and manly sites are appearing all over the internet. Is this just another fad? And what does it say that so many of the most famous Christian communicators have or did have a beard?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout history, Christian men have gloried in male pattern magnificence. Saint Benedict of Nursia wore a superb double forker. The benevolently-bushed Euthymius wouldn't allow clean-shaven monks to enter his Judean Desert monastery. St. Francis of Assisi had a beard, and now there's a Pope named after him. He's clean-shaven, but we're praying for him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf all the great Christian men who wore beards, none stands so highly as the headless martyr Sir Thomas More. On the day of his beheading, the tufted knight supposedly positioned his beard away from his soon-to-be-severed neck, saying: \"My beard has not been guilty of treason, and it would be an injustice to punish it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut of course, \u003cem\u003eBearded Gospel Men\u003c\/em\u003e is about far more than beards - it's about manliness and godliness. Through this 31-day devotional, men are inspired to rise to a higher calling. The humor and facial hair is the perfect means to have a broader conversation about living a faithful life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, let's study some of these famous \u003cem\u003eBearded Gospel Men\u003c\/em\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jared Brock,Aaron Alford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780718099305\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlford, Aaron:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Aaron Alford is originally from Ontario, Canada.
