Book Overview

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.

I wish every man in the world could read this book!

This book helped me understand my whole life, right down to age 62, my struggles and questions as an unbeliever, later a believer, and now a pastor/professor. Now, on January 1, 2010, I see many things with a completely different perspective. I love the way Eldredge uses "epic vocabulary" such as warrior, king, sage, etc. and applies them all to everyday life, in a way that makes the mundane sublime and purposeful. For years,...

Great Read and Powerful Message

I have not read Eldredge's book "Way of the Wild Heart" so the material in this book was all pretty new to me. I am a pretty big fan of Eldredge's work especially his book "Wild At Heart." "Wild At Heart" has influenced my life more than any non-religious book I have ever read and I feel Eldredge has continued to masterfully pass his wisdom and insight in this book. Like he did in "Wild At Heart," this book just really...

A truly great work

There is a lot to this piece of literature. I was considering re-reading the Warrior & Lover chapters when I got towards the end. Then I discovered that the editor had the same response, and upon Eldredge's suggestion I re-read the entire book. It did not dissapoint! Like most of his works, I would recommend that EVERYONE check it out.
