Edwin Louis Cole (1922-2002) was an American minister, author, and founder of the Christian Men’s Network, often called the “father of the Christian men’s movement.” Raised during the Great Depression and later serving in World War II, he brought a gritty realism to his teaching on character, responsibility, and integrity. He wrote several influential books, including Maximized Manhood, which challenged men to express love through sacrifice, service, and practical action rather than mere words. This background of hardship, faith, and mentoring men helps explain his conviction that “the degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving”, for Cole, real love always showed up in what you were willing to give of yourself.
