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.

I wish more authors would narrate their own books. This book is so much more powerful because John Eldridge reads it with the tone he wrote it in! That makes such a big difference.

Production notes aside, this book has literally been life changing for me. I didn’t realize the stages of manhood that I was never initiated in, and that many of my life’s trials were God my Father’s sovereign work in my life to initiate me into a new stage of manhood! Now I want to pass those trials instead of side-step them. Truth be told I’m in the middle of a heavy one right now, and I’m about to listen to this again with the workbook. I can not recommend it enough.

Life changing.

This book is fantastic! All men need to read/ listen to this book, and many women would benefit from it as well. I learned much about myself just from listening to it and thinking about how I handle myself.

This book is excellent at opening your eyes to the many stages on your journey with God. It is especially helpful for man who haven’t had an example of what that even looks like. Well worth the time.

A much needed book

What a great outline of where we’ve come from, where we are, and where we’re headed as men.
John Eldredge again does an excellent job of calling the man to see the strength that God has given him, to grieve the weakness and missing parts in the journey and encourages him to give both to God to be used as God sees fit. Like Wild at Heart I’m fired up when I read this book to be intentional, to fight, to learn, to love and go climb a dang mountain!

Fantastic

This is an outstanding book for men, and for the women who love them. I think it's important to understand these concepts if you have a man in your life, whether that's a son, a father, or a husband. It will give you a better insight into them. And as a man I think much of this resonated with me and other men I've spoken to. I think John Eldredge did a great job authoring and narrating. one drawback for me is that I'm not a huge fan of how he claims to audibly hear from God- "God told me this" or "God's voice whispered X to me." But I appreciate how he points people to Jesus in the book and I understand the point he's making. All in all this is a really good book with profound insights into the heart of many men.

Excellent book
