Dudevotional Vol. 1: Meditations on Total Badassery and Other Masculine Stuff is a rally cry for men who are done sitting on the sidelines. This isn’t a feel-good self-help book. It’s a call to step into the arena-bloody knuckles, scarred hands, and a fire in your gut. Through raw devotionals, hard truths, classic warrior poetry, and straight-up biblical grit, Andy Parker charges men to embrace what they were born to be: builders, fighters, protectors, leaders, and dangerous men under the command of a good King.

On August 26, 2015, Emmy Award-winning 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker was murdered on live television, along with her colleague, photojournalist Adam Ward. Their interviewee was also shot but survived. In the wake of his daughter's murder, Andy Parker became a national advocate for commonsense gun safety legislation. The night of the murder, with his emotions still raw, he went on Fox News and vowed to do "whatever it takes" to end gun violence in America.

God’s Gonna Cut You Down is a bold, theologically rich exposition on the prophetic book of Nahum—a scripture often overlooked, yet burning with timely relevance. With razor-sharp insight and pastoral urgency, Andy Parker pulls no punches in unveiling a vision of God who is not only loving but also just, wrathful, and sovereign over all nations. Drawing vivid parallels between ancient Nineveh and the modern world, this book calls the Church to wake from its comfortable slumber and reckon with the fullness of God’s character.

Feminism is a cancer that is at the center of the cultural rot and division in our country. It is no coincidence that as feminism has become increasingly accepted, the size of the state has grown to epic proportions. In order for both feminism and statism to maintain influence, control, and power, the home must be deconstructed by removing the head from the equation.

This is what the church needs today. It needs men of steely resolve, unshakable discipline, and unbridled optimism. We need men with an absolute obsession with the fundamentals. This will not cap our growth or limit our ability to speak into everything; rather, quite the opposite. This will remove all caps on our growth and will allow the gospel to permeate every area of our lives. What we need is grizzled and gruff men of lore to come before us and hold up an old, well-worn leather Bible in their right hand and say, “Gentlemen, this is the gospel! ”

Do you want to play the game of life? Ecclesiastes is going to show us how to do this in a fallen world where things often don’t make sense and are messed up. For many, if not most, the book of Ecclesiastes is an enigma, packaged as a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, and then placed in some Russian dolls before it is locked up in Pandora's Box. “The Preacher” takes us on a journey from birth to death, running the whole gauntlet of life. Mysterious and challenging, this book is meant to be wrestled through as we discover that God is the answer to every longing of the soul.

Judah was a hot mess. The leadership was corrupt, the religious establishment was compromised, and foreign nations were gaining in strength. Habakkuk cried out to God to cleanse and redeem his people and to make his nation great again. Through a series of dialogues, we see faith in action as the prophet wrestles with the sovereignty of God. None of this would change his circumstances, but it would change his perspective on them and give him a place to stand as judgment was sure to come.

This book is written for normal working-class guys, who know something is desperately out of whack regarding the church and our culture. This book is an attempt to say, this is why, and this is how you fix it. It begins with you, your wife, your children, your household and your lineage. It begins by making the patriarchy great again. However, in so doing, you should also know that I fully intend on pissing all over every idol that stands opposed to that, particularly, feminism. You’re welcome!

There are no “how-to’s” to be found anywhere in this book. I am not a contractor, or a tradesman, I’m just a tinkerer who tinkers a lot. This book is simply a series of meditations on Christ and life related to our homes and home renovation. Even though life isn’t put together with 2x4’s many of the principles derived and lessons learned, and reflections given, will apply to a great multitude of areas in your life.

Jonah is not about a big fish, but a big God. Jonah is not about an angry prophet, but about a God who is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Jonah is not about a prophet who goes down to Sheol, but a God who brings the dead to life. Jonah is not about Nineveh that great city, but about a God who is the Conqueror of kingdoms and the Ruler of nations. Jonah is not about a prophet who flees, but a God who pursues. Jonah is not about a king who puts on sackcloth, but about a God who takes on flesh.
