Publisher's Summary

There is a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by men who have gone before us, sons following in the footsteps of their fathers, generation after generation. There are perils along the trail, even disasters - all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a father who has gone before.

But in an age when true fathers are in short supply, how do you find the path to manhood? How do you steer clear of the dangers?

John Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our father. In life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood.

Through personal stories and practical guidance, Eldredge provides a map through the six stages of a man’s journey:

  • Boyhood
  • Cowboy
  • Warrior
  • Lover
  • King
  • Sage

Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood - not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a sure path men have followed for centuries before us.

Find that path and become the man God sees in you.

Myst read for all Christian men. Extremely well read.

This was a fantastic listen. I will be going over each chapter again using the workbook applying the principles both to myself, and to my two boys 13 & 11 yrs old. This book is such a gift from God to all men and thank you to the author for listening to the Lord when he put it upon your heart to write these words.

This is a powerful tool for men and boys.

Having tried to aid many older men from the city in piecing their lives back together, I recommend that every male living in big cities read this book. However, it is useful for men of every place and of every age in stepping forward on their masculine journey.

Masculine Initiation

John E is incredible at helping men understand each stage of the masculine journey in this book. It’s an important read for all Christians and non. He explains the areas in which we aren’t always fathered perfectly, and how God, our perfect Father is there to walk us through them, if we seek Him. Beautiful book John. It’s my second listen!
