Most guys are searching for purpose in life. "Why am I here? What's my destiny?" But most of us seek the answer in the wrong place. We look outside ourselves. The key, says Anthony Delaney, is in discovering who you are and being who God made you to be. It's tough being a man. We try to look strong, but under pressure we crumble. Exposed to heat, we burn. God didn't make you to be a "coal man". He created you as precious and valuable, a Rough Diamond. Anthony Delaney explores what it means to be a follower of Christ; what happens when we fail; how we juggle our finances; being real with your friends; giving the right priority to your family; being the best father possible; and following Jesus, the ultimate "Rough Diamond".

This is a book about how to be a truly Godly bloke: tough, trustworthy, open.
