The True Measure of a Man

Richard's book The True Measure of a Man provides answers to men’s deepest questions, and helps them understand what they are feeling as they go through the storms of life. He points us to a life of contentment that can only be found in the Lord. I believe every man should read this book.
Pat Sullivan, former Heisman Trophy winner, head football coach, Samford University
The True Measure of a Man is a book for every man of every faith or no faith at all. He’ll learn why he doesn’t have to live with the guilt, insecurity, and fear that most men experience but often pretend they don’t.
Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, Weekly Standard, and regular contributor/commentator with FOX News Channel
The True Measure of a Man is a provocative and credible challenge to the conventional wisdom of modern man’s value system. Richard Simmons gives us a clear picture of how we deceive ourselves into a false reliance on our own accomplishments to establish our identity and our worth. And he wisely counsels that we are in treacherous territory! Thankfully, he gives explicit guidance to a liberating and transformational course for a hopeful and fulfilling life. This is an inspirational and uplifting work!
Claude B. Nielsen, Chairman and CEO, Coca-Cola Bottling Co. United
In The True Measure of a Man, Richard Simmons gathers a wide variety of compelling stories, illustrations, quotes, and scriptures, and he delivers a timeless message that men desperately need to hear.
Danny Wuerffel, Heisman Trophy winner
Richard Simmons knows men and he knows the gospel. The True Measure of a Man is a masterful presentation of the truth of the gospel to us men who are all too prone to seek our identity in affluence and accomplishment rather than Jesus Christ. Simmons shows with compelling insight that the call of Christ provides the true measure of every man.
Drayton Nabers Jr., former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court

“Richard E. Simmons III’s book, The True Measure of a Man, is so full of common sense and practicality. It is especially poignant and meaningful at such a critical time in our country. May we all come to know God’s grace, that he might teach us humility and kindness for all.”

Ben Crenshaw, golf legend and two-time Masters Tournament winner
