Weak men will not be able to handle

the contents o this book.

The Resolution is not or the aint

o heart, and those who commit to it

will be more accountable in the uture.

You will be challenged to get out

o your comort zone, work through

hidden issues rom your past, and make

strategic sacriices or the sake

o your amily and your aith.

But those who step up to the challenge will ind that living out the Resolution

will radically impact their priorities

and assist them in becoming strong

men who are ound aithul.

It will take courage.But it will be worth it all.

You’ve been warned.

which your athers served which were beyond the River,

or the gods o the Amorites in whose land you are living;

but as or me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)

I the Arameans are too strong or me, then you shall help me,

but i the sons o Ammon are too strong or you, then I will come

to help you. Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous or

the sake o our people and or the cities o our God; and may

the Lord do what is good in His sight. (2 Samuel 10:11–12)
