What men around America are saying about Tender Warrior
“Tender Warrior is a very meaningful and enlightening book for any man to read who is interested in seeking to become a man in the full sense of the word. Stu Weber certainly has captured the dilemma that many men find themselves in in today’s society, and outlines strategies for becoming more fully human and also more fully Christ–centered in their lives.”
TOM OSBORNE, FORMER HEAD FOOTBALL COACH-UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
“Tender Warrior is a must read for every man seeking true masculinity, written in a style that is easy to understand and apply. From the viewpoint of a member of the profession of arms, Stu Weber is credible. He has been there and paid his dues. I recommend the book as a manual for a men’s accountability group.”
ROBERT L. VERNON, ASSISTANT CHIEF OF POLICE, LOS ANGELES, (RET.)
“These are the two most helpful books written for men in the last five years.”
(Tender Warrior and Real Men Have Feelings Too by Gary Oliver)
NORMAN WRIGHT, BEST SELLING AUTHOR AND NATIONAL SPEAKER
“When Stu Weber wrote Tender Warrior, he unintentionally wrote an autobiography. Never have I read a book which has more credibility in terms of the author’s own life. In a day when our culture is at once confused and concerned over gender identity, men everywhere would do well to recalibrate their personal compasses by the Biblical benchmarks found in Tender Warrior. I highly recommend this book!
BRUCE H. WILKINSON, PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, WALK THRU THE BIBLE MINISTRIES
“This is a book of encouragement. In a day where the meaning of the word loyalty has been lost, Stu Weber reminds us as men, especially in chapter four, to exercise staying power.”
COACH BOBBY BOWDEN, FLORIDA STATE FOOTBALL, (NATIONAL CHAMPIONS-1994)
“Weber is particularly good at showing how times of tension are potential learning experiences that can either be grasped or unwittingly passed by. Weber demonstrates a keen ability to weave a tale and turn a phrase.”
BOOKSTORE JOURNAL
“Just when we need it most, just when the battle for the hearts of men and their families is most intense, in God’s perfect timing, comes Stu Weber’s Tender Warrior. This is a book which both tiptoes into your consciousness and your conscience, and thunders in with powerful impact. It is a book that everyman and all those who love men should read.”
BOB BRINER, PROSERVTELEVISION-PRESIDENT, AUTHOR OF ROARING LAMBS
“I was handed this book by a friend and I found it so inspiring that I shared it with several of my closest friends. In professional football where emotion is a key ingredient to success I found this book to be a true source of inspiration. Stu Weber shows men how they can be strong individuals by standing together as warriors in God. His Tender Warrior shows how we can be men off the field as well as on.”
KEN RUETTGERS, LEFT TACKLE-GREEN BAY PACKERS (#75)
“Tender Warrior provides hope for men by challenging their assumptions and shaping their convictions. Read it. Devour it. Then live it. This is the time for real men to emerge.”
DENNIS RAINEY, FAMILY LIFE-NATIONAL DIRECTOR
“Stu Weber challenges us to be the men which God intended. For the sake of our wives, our children, and our nation, I hope that every American male will read and heed this memorable book.”
DAN COATES, UNITED STATES SENATOR, INDIANA
“I drank Budweiser, smoked Marlboros, and chased women…. Tender Warrior sent me deeper into my heart and soul. When I finished it, I passed it on to a friend, who was supposed to give it back but passed it on to someone else. This book changed his life. It knocked down the walls around his heart. His response: ‘The most important thing that has happened in my life started when you sent me that book.’”

Some Things Are Worth Fighting For
Young men aspire to it. Women admire it. Yet the definition of manhood itself is obscured by a culture in moral free fall. This book cuts through the fog and defines a powerful blueprint for being the man—theTender Warrior—that God desires for you and your family. You’ll discover that a Tender Warrior:
• watches out for what lies ahead—like a wagon train scout;
• keeps his commitments, no matter how painful;
• has a tender heart beating beneath his armor;
• understands his responsibility to his wife, children, and friends;
• recognizes that he is “under orders from higher headquarters.”
Stu Weber ’s now classic teaching on a man’s vigilance, staying power, and consideration for the women in his life will move you to pursue the man you were created to be.
