Maximized Manhood
Maximize your life, as millions of men have worldwide, by studying the Christian classic, Maximized Manhood! Edwin Louis Cole, the “father of the Christian Men’s movement,” spoke with a prophetic voice to men. Just months before leaving earth for Heaven, he revised his signature work, adding five crucial chapters he believed would strengthen Maximized Manhood for the next generation.
Courage
From the streets of New York to the mountains of Nepal, young and old are fighting a war waged against them by the enemy of their souls, both physically and spiritually.
More than ever before in history, young men today must be trained to be men and have the courage to live in that manhood. If you have the guts to to more than wallow in a moral mass of mediocrity, this book is for you!
Don’t waste your youth! Live your God-given dreams! This book will train you in manhood, in responsibility, in maturity and in warfare. The only question is, do you have the courage to read it?
Sexual Integrity
At a time when sex has been degraded to crass adult humor and virginity is regarded by some as cheap merchandise, a new generation is bringing back what a previous generation threw away — the understanding that sex is to be valued and respected. God made sex good!
Possibly the most unusual and most important book about sex you will ever read, Sexual Integrity addresses sexuality with powerful insight.
Understand today why God created you to be sexual, and discover the pleasure of honoring your most precious gift. No matter who you are — man or woman; teenager or adult; single or married — this book holds refreshing wisdom for whatever sexual questions or issues you may have.
Strong Men In Tough Times
“Society’s widening gap between technological achievement and moral decay compels men of courage, integrity and true manhood to stand strong.
In a quest for satisfaction, many men have lost the meaning of manhood, surrendering ideals to things immoral, illegal, unethical or irresponsible. Today’s tough times require men to overcome dangerous philosophies and bring hope, diginity and order back to a world in desperate need – men who are willing to be heroes.”

Real Man
Are You Real? Braving today’s masculinity maze, with its confused images that distort real manhood, requires courage and wisdom. Edwin Louis Cole, as a mentor, friend and spiritual father, declares a model for manhood that is infallible, functional and yet feasible – the manhood of Christlikeness!
REAL MAN rips apart unfulfilling stereotypes, smothers the pressure of unrealistic demands, exposes cheap substitutes and sordid imitations of true manhood – while giving a man the power he needs to obtain the spirit and conviction of being a real man. Learn How To:
- Maximize your masculinity
- Discover the manhood of Jesus Christ
- Get and stay on top
- Determine your heart’s direction
- Achieve fulfilling accomplishments
- Clarify your role as leader, husband, father, friend
REAL MAN exposes the myths of manhood and addresses the full range of a man’s life – marriage, finances, friendships, success, failure, parenting and spirituality. Jesus Christ overcomes substitute manliness and sets the standard for real manhood to help men be real.
The Unique Woman
You have more than you think you have. You can do more than you think you can. You alone are responsible for intelligence, talents, abilities and gifts God has given. Edwin and Nancy Cole took the truths and experience gathered from over half a century of marriage and ministry together to write The Unique Woman. In one of Christianity’s modern classics, and in the same upfront and honest style of Ed Cole (an internationally known minister to men), he and Nancy answer the heart’s cry of women around the world.
Each book listed has a corresponding workbook which consists of self-tests and a final exam at the conclusion of each book.
The goal of CLC’s Men’s Ministry is for every man to realize and achieve his full potential and purpose in Christ. This curriculum provides the tools to achieve Christ-likeness in you and every man. Take the step to the next level and witness what God can and will do in your life!
The Programs
Two programs exist that result in either a certification or a “commissioning.” The first will allow you to wade in before you jump in. The second will allow you to aspire and commit to the long range plan of completing an entire course of study. You may find it easiest to start with the first and then announce plans to continue into the second method.
Certification (the MAXTrak): Not Ashamed… (2 Timothy 2:15)
Complete the entire MAJORING IN MEN® Core Curriculum:

Pastors participate with men’s leaders to confer certificates of completion to each man as he completes each book. When all four books are complete a special meeting or dedicated church service is held to give each man a final “MAXTRAK” or “Manhood 101” certificate.
Commissioning: Teach Men to Teach Men (2 Timothy 2:2)
This section of the course is for those men who are committed and realize they are called by God to, “Teach to teach until all men are taught.”
