About this listen
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.

Our deepest need is to live in conversation with God. To hear his voice. To follow him intimately.

Yet most Christians have never been taught how to have a conversation with the Creator.

Story
How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance - certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That's because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don't appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings - especially when we don't know if we're doing something wrong or if some prayers just don't work.

We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies. The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace.

Story
Cracking the communication code between husband and wife involves understanding one thing: that unconditional respect is as powerful for him as unconditional love is for her. It's the secret to marriage that every couple seeks, and yet few couples ever find. While both men and women deserve both love and respect, in the midst of conflict the driving need for a woman is love and the driving need for a man is respect. When either of these needs isn’t met, things get crazy. Based on over three decades of counseling, as well as scientific and biblical research, Love and Respect is for anyone.

Story
As Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seduced a nation, bullied a continent, and attempted to exterminate the Jews of Europe, a small number of dissidents and saboteurs worked to dismantle the Third Reich from the inside. One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor and author. In this New York Times bestselling biography, Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life—the theologian and the spy—and draws them together to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

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!
