Men are hungry for authenticity and for sound and bold biblical teaching on true masculinity. Every day men ask themselves questions about how to be better fathers, husbands, friends, and men, but it’s difficult to find satisfying answers. Rise of the Servant Kings explains that true masculinity is found in absolute surrender to God, which always results in humble character and is expressed in courage and generosity.
When a man truly understands God’s desires, he will naturally express godly masculinity. The author, Ken Harrison, Chairman and CEO of Promise Keepers, weaves together his experiences as a police officer in one of the deadliest areas of the country, with many years as a business executive and ministry leader, to share deep truths for men direct from God’s Word.

“Little boys don’t want to grow up to be polite citizens who keep their lawn manicured. They want to be heroes and even “superheroes” who right wrongs, deliver the oppressed and save the world. In the “Rise of the Servant Kings”, Ken has done grown up boys a favor by providing them both a reminder and a roadmap to experience the True greatness their Father King has planned for them.”

“There are many voices speaking to us of manhood today. Ken Harrison’s is unique among them. It sounds forth from his gritty years as an LA cop, his inspiring business experience, and his hard-won victories as a leader of men. He is street-wise and biblical, humorous and learned. He issues a call to righteous manhood we need to hear.”
Stephen Mansfield
New York Times bestselling author
“Masculinity, as God designed it, isn’t toxic. Rather, it’s good, life-giving, courageous, and sacrificial. There were times as I read this book that I felt as if Ken was in my face! It was uncomfortable but also spot on. I know Ken loves Christ, cares about the right things, and is passionate about seeing God’s kingdom advance. The truth he speaks is truth men need to hear.”

“I’m a woman—so I don’t usually read books about being a man—but my husband was reading Ken’s book and was so enthusiastic, I wanted to know what set this book apart. Ken’s stories captivated me. His honesty inspired me. The book pulses with masculinity yet God spoke to me, a woman! I’m buying Rise of the Servant Kings for every man in my life!”

“Some authors write with ink and some with water. Harrison writes with blood and fire, and his soul-stirring call to men to rise to the challenge of the hour is bold, timely, and heart-warming. If Christian men respond as the promise keepers described here, the world will be a different and better place.”

“In Rise of the Servant Kings, Ken Harrison explains clearly what the core qualities of a man of God should be. Since Ken’s an ex-police officer, he is not afraid to get right to the nitty gritty in describing how a man can apply the Bible’s principles for authentic masculinity in every area of life—from personal integrity, to marriage, to fatherhood, to serving his fellow man. If you want a no-nonsense guide to getting manhood right, this is it.”
Evander Holyfield
Former four-time world heavyweight champion
“No one will ever accuse Ken Harrison, a gritty ex-policeman who now heads Promise Keepers, of pulling any punches in describing the role of a ‘servant king.’ His message is clear, direct, and on target as he challenges men to accept their responsibility as Christfollowers in all arenas of life. Men of all ages will be encouraged by this timely reminder of both the cost and opportunity of authentic manhood.”
Mark Batterson
New York Times best-selling author of The Circle Maker, lead pastor of National Community Church
“I have passed the Promise Keeper’s baton to Ken Harrison with exceeding great joy, because Ken is a man of the Word and a man of prayer. Never has there been a greater need for men of the Word and Prayer–you can only lead based on who you are. Additionally, Ken has a genuine love for the brothers of color and is committed to insure that they are reached, included, and fully involved as Promise Keeepers builds an army of Godly men. Read this book, it was written by a man of integrity.”
Bill McCartney

“Ken has captured the biblical mandate of manhood. In a world of putting ‘self’ first, he encourages men to be servant leaders to both their fellow man and to their God.”

“Scripture teaches and history affirms that our greatest kings and leaders have strong and loving hearts that beat to serve God, their families, and humanity. Ken writes and leads by example.”

“You may have heard the statement that ’being male is a matter of birth, but being a man is a matter of choice.’ Ken Harrison challenges us to the next level, in that to be a man of God, means choosing to live proactively, courageously, and humbly. Masterfully blending a fascinating life in the LAPD with deep theological insight, Ken addresses with sledgehammer force the key issues men struggle with. This book will arrest your heart to choose living out your true design as a servant king!”

“Ken Harrison is the kind of person he writes about. He’s a man of character and conviction, and much of his book calls us to a similar path. I’m thankful that Rise of the Servant Kings will encourage men to be who God has called them to be.”
