Synopsis:

The Virtuous Man is the inspiring true story of Kevin Toney, a gifted musician, and his quest for success. He shares how he embraced a destructive manner of behavior practiced by men toward women – what he calls the “Men’s Code”.

Kevin’s story begins at age eight, growing up in Detroit, Michigan, where he was introduced to the “Code” through his own father. Other various experiences that further shaped his attitude and relationships with women are also highlighted. His story continues through his college years and subsequent successes in the music and entertainment industry. It was through these times that the “Code” was solidified, later almost destroying his family.

During his marriage he had infidelities, as he couldn’t break completely from the code. Then one day after twenty-five years of marriage, his wife confronted him with an affair he was having and his life then crashed. Kevin says ” I tried to find alibis but found that God was the only thing that could get me through this. A friend introduced me to God, and said, “You need God.” My relationship with God saved my marriage and broke the “Men’s Code”.

The “Men’s Code,” is a mode of conduct and thought that teaches men to believe that it’s okay to disrespect women, to treat them only as physical objects, and to have relationships outside of the marriage. This book reveals the process, the spiritual tools and practical tools that the author used to help break the “code” and save his marriage. Kevin states, “By all human and worldly standards, my marriage should have failed and fallen apart like so many others have experienced. Only through God’s words and miracles am I standing stronger than ever with my wife and family here today. Learn the story!
