Fathered by God: Learning What Your Dad Could Never Teach You (Embark on the Path to Authentic Manhood and Discover the True Meaning of Masculinity) - The Perfect Gift for Young Men and New Fathers

Written by John Eldredge

Narrated by John Eldredge

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.

Great insight! Read it with a group of men with the workbook.

[desmondhaye_72374921 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellence epitomized. A must-read for all men for years to come.

[DBaker · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Psychological approach to phases of masculine development with scripture picked to support ideas. Probably more references to Hollywood and non biblical sourced than the scriptures themselves. Not a bad book just ok

[Daniel Kertesz · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Maps out the Journey of all Men. It has very useful points: it puts the Life in a special system, which explains both your states and God’s attitudes.

[Rasa Kobylnik · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

[Jacq Botes · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Thankful for God’s encouragement to my heart and soul through John’s writing. A significant work that was a stark reminder how much Our Heavenly Father loves each one of us. Looking forward to more.
