The Man God Intended

(The Journey)
Every Man’s Starting Place

Dear friends I want to share something with you that is very important and heart-felt. In over 30 years of full-time ministry to men this is my most important and timely resource.

I want to encourage you to read our press release and social media ad below and seriously consider obtaining a copy of this new book. For all of you who are my Substack subscribers I have included a link below for you to download a free eBook version. -Vince

News From On Target Ministries:

Most men I talk to want more than just “information about God.” They want to know Him. They want the kind of relationship that changes how they think, how they lead, how they love their families, and how they handle the pressures of life.

The problem? A lot of us are still trying to grow using the same old methods that left us spiritually dry or stuck in performance mode. We attend church, listen to sermons, maybe even read a chapter a day… but deep down we sense there’s more.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited about a new book that just released: The Man God Intended: The Journey—Every Man’s Starting Place by Vince D’Acchioli.

This isn’t just another devotional. It’s a practical, no-fluff, 6-week journey designed to move men from knowing aboutGod to knowing Him — and it works whether you’re brand new to faith or you’ve been walking with Jesus for decades and need a fresh spark.

Built for Real Personal Spiritual Growth

Every day follows a simple, powerful rhythm:

• A key Scripture
• Raw, honest teaching (often from Vince’s own story of failure and restoration)
• Two focused questions that make it personal
• One simple action step you can actually do that day
• Space to write your takeaway and commitment

It’s not about cramming more head knowledge. It’s about heart-level transformation. By the end of the six weeks, you’ll have a clearer picture of who God really is, how much He loves you, and how to walk with Him in trust instead of trying to control everything yourself.

The journey culminates in The Encounter — a full day set aside to be alone with God. Many men who’ve done it say it became one of the most meaningful spiritual experiences of their lives.

Perfect for Men’s Small Group Bible Study

If you lead or attend a men’s group, this book was made for you.

Each week ends with Growth Keys — discussion questions and journal space specifically designed for small groups. At the end of every week there’s also a QR code that links to a powerful 12-minute video teaching from the Men On Target curriculum. You can watch it together and then talk about it.

Vince’s teaching style is transparent, practical, and often funny. He doesn’t just tell men what to do — he shows them through his own story what it looks like to crash, get back up, and learn to walk with God in the real world.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” This book creates the environment where that actually happens.

Ideal Starting Place for New Believers

One of the things I love most is how clearly this book lays the foundation for anyone who is brand new to following Jesus — or for those who’ve been around church but still feel fuzzy on the basics.

Week 1 walks through who God really is (Creator, Designer, Lover, Forgiver, All-Powerful). It gently but firmly addresses the difference between the “god we want” and the God who actually is. It covers salvation, assurance, and what it means to be a new creation in Christ — all in language that’s easy to understand but never shallow.

If you’ve ever wished there was a simple, powerful resource to hand a new believer (or someone who’s been away from God for a while), this is it. It gives them a solid starting place without overwhelming them.

Spiritual Refreshing for Those Who Want to Go Deeper

At the same time, this isn’t basic material dressed up for beginners. Men who have walked with God for years are finding it incredibly refreshing.

The teaching on trust, letting go of control, finding power in weakness, drawing near through time alone with God, and living out your purpose hits differently when you’ve already been around the block a few times. It has a way of exposing areas where we’ve grown complacent and inviting us back into deeper intimacy with Jesus.

Vince writes with the heart of a man who has been through the fire and come out the other side more in love with Jesus than ever. That authenticity makes the call to go deeper feel inviting instead of guilt-inducing.

Ready to Start Your Journey?

Whether you’re:

• A new believer looking for a clear path forward
• A men’s small group leader wanting something practical and transformative
• Or a seasoned believer who simply wants to fall in love with Jesus all over again…

The Man God Intended is an excellent place to begin.

It’s written for real men living real lives who are tired of surface-level faith and hungry for something deeper. You might just discover that the man God intended you to be has been waiting on the other side of this journey all along.
