Publisher Description
In an age when fathers are more important than ever, how do you embark on your journey to manhood and know how to steer clear of the dangers along the way? In Fathered by God, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reminds us that there's a path to masculinity and, best of all, there's a loving Father ready to help us follow it.
In Fathered by God, Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father, and he wants to show us what masculinity really means. Eldredge teaches us that there's a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by generation after generation of men. There are perils along the trail, even disasters--all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before us.
A boy has a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a man, and it takes the active intervention of father figures and the fellowship of other men to guide us along the way. Eldredge shares that in all of 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 and answers some of the most common questions about manhood that he's received over the years, including:
- How can I set a good example for my son?
- What does the Bible teach us about masculinity?
- How can I become the man that God designed me to be?
Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood--not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a well-worn path that men have followed for centuries before us. Discover the truth about masculinity and become the man that God sees in you.

"This book gave me a feeling of positivity and power over my life that I haven't faced in a very long time. I would recommend it especially to men in their early twenties to put them on a path of open mindedness and searching for a better life through the life trials of other men who have gone before with good intentions. Very easy to listen to --and captivating stories throughout."

" I do a lot of driving and do not like to read. I tend to daydream when I read. I listened to this book at least 4 or 5 times. Listening rather than reading, made it much easier to get understanding, whether it was reading or hearing, this book task accomplished. I have gotten 3 more books since this, my first one. "

" Loving it. Love his insight and intuition. I am female but it helps to understand the meaning behind a man's adventure and ego. "

" This book has been amazing for me! About to begin a second time through with a study guide. It is helping me better understand some of the gaps from my childhood and how to relate to God as my heavenly father. "

" I really liked this book. It was written for men, but thought my husband would never read it. "

" Really enjoyable. Some of his masculine depictions are a bit of a stretch, but I generally thought he was on target with the need for men to embrace Christian masculinity. The stages were particularly helpful in describing where a man might find himself along his journey with God. "

" A good solid read that occasionally suffers from overdevelopment of thought without forward movement to the next. Eldredge consistently writes in this manner so it should come as no surprise to any who have read his other works. The central idea and development of it is not only interesting but accurate (and will be confirmed by your own observations and experiences). "

" I love anything that helps me understand my house of men better. John Eldredge is an excellent writer and the master of the metaphore. "
