I am so happy to finally have a GREAT devotional for guys - it's not silly or light, but truly helps teen and young adult guys deepen their relationship with God. 
This 365-day devotional for guys is one of very few written specifically for teen guys in a language they will understand and appreciate.

About the resource...
Devotions for the God Guy
Michael DiMarco
Paperback • Baker Publishing Group • 9780800721046


The God Guy is always on a journey to becoming the man God created him to be. That means that every day, the God Guy needs time with his Creator to reflect on where he's been, where he's at, and where he's going. 


Devotions for the God Guy is a daily guide for teen guys to help them choose God's way in every area of their life--from their thoughts and actions to friends and faith.




An excerpt... 
The God Guy wants what every other guy wants: to be accepted and respected. He wants love and laughter. He wants adventure and ease. But his life, like everyone else’s, isn’t perfect. It’s messy and lonely, it’s stressful and hard, but one thing sets his life apart, one thing makes his life amazingly different from others, and that’s his heart. His heart is set on something above, something greater than him that gives him strength and hope. He has found the truth, and the truth is that God lives. He lives above and he lives within. The God Guy calls him Father, he calls him God, and he calls him his salvation.

Because of that the God Guy wants more than anything else to hear from him. He wants his words to ring in his ears. This makes a God Guy crave more from God. It makes a guy look for him, listen for him, and wait for him. When other people are sleeping, the God Guy is waking up to wait and watch for him. He knows that a day that starts off in God’s presence is better than a day when he is forgotten or pushed aside for other more pressing things. Sure he has a lot to do, sure he is tired, but when a guy is hungry, he’s got to feast on what fills him up the most.
