What does power and responsibility look like for Christian men in our world today? Becoming a King offers men a guide to becoming one to whom God can entrust his kingdom. 
Journey with Morgan Snyder as he walks alongside men (and the women who love and encourage them) to rediscover the path of inner transformation. Becoming a King is an invitation into a radical reconstruction of much of what we’ve come to believe about God, masculinity, and the meaning of life.Curated and distilled over more than two decades and drawn from the lives of more than seventy-five men, Morgan shares his discovery of an ancient and reliable path to restoring and becoming the kind of man who can wield power for good. With examples from the lives of the great heroes of faith as well as wise men from Morgan’s own life, break through doubt and discover the power of restoration.In Becoming a King, you will:Reconstruct your understanding of masculinity and who God truly intended you to beLearn to become a man of unshakable strength and courageReclaim your identity, integrity, and purposeTraveling this path isn’t easy. But the heroic journey detailed within the pages of Becoming a King leads to real life—to men becoming as solid and mighty as oak trees, teeming with strength and courage to bring healing to a hurting world; and to sons, husbands, brothers, and friends becoming the kind of kings to whom God can entrust his kingdom.Audiobook-exclusive content includes: Extended prayers, additional reflections, and a conversation you won’t want to miss. Morgan Snyder gathered three of his closest allies who have all lived, breathed, and consented to the message of Becoming a King for over a decade. Hear their stories and lock arms with them in the unshakeable hope that more life, strength, and joy are available than we have been led to believe.

About Morgan Snyder

Morgan Snyder is a grateful husband of twenty years and a proud father of a wildly creative and witty daughter and a joyful and passionate son. He serves as a strategist, entrepreneur, teacher, writer, and speaker. His passion is to shape the men and women who are shaping the kingdom of God. In 2010, he established BecomeGoodSoil.com, a fellowship of leaders whose global reach offers guidance for the narrow road of becoming the kind of person to whom God can confidently entrust the care of his kingdom. Morgan serves on the executive leadership team at Wild at Heart and Ransomed Heart Ministries and has contended for the wholeheartedness of men and women alongside John and Stasi Eldredge for more than two decades. He has led sold-out Wild at Heart men’s events across the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia. Morgan goes off the grid every chance he gets, whether bowhunting in the Colorado wilderness or choosing the adventurous life with his greatest treasures: his wife, daughter, and son.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Adam on April 12, 2021

I really wanted to love this book. The idea of the book is great, and the author very openly shares some deeply personal information throughout. He also says some amazing stuff about our identity in Christ and the image of God that I absolutely loved. These are things that men desperately need to he......more

Goodreads review by Jack on March 04, 2023

Most books about masculinity; especially biblical masculinity, tend to divide readers into two camps. One camp receiving the book as a catalyst to necessary change in their lives; and the other trashing it as worthless or even dangerous. Don't believe me? Just read through some other reviews of this......more

Goodreads review by Paul on May 23, 2020

This book is like a treasure map for our souls. Many times we see men walking in strength and vibrancy of life and wonder how we can get there. This book points the way. Morgan Snyder points to a path he (and others) has walked to find life. While simple and attainable, what he recommends is not eas......more

Goodreads review by J.D. on November 02, 2023

In Becoming a King, Snyder gives insights on how men can reach their inevitable goal of becoming a king by tackling masculine hurdles that each man faces. Things such as confronting failure, slowing yourself down, avoiding isolation, and bringing the act and art of playing into your daily lives, are......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on March 23, 2022

This was a book recommended to me by a close friend. In many ways, this book was more confirmatory than revelatory, but in all the right ways. The book is clearly aimed at men, but I think that this book is one that many men in the church should read and consider. The book asserts that men were mean......more

Quotes

'Becoming a King is a rare and essential invitation to living true and becoming a man God can entrust with more. Though Morgan is younger than me, words could never describe how I've been mentored by him for more than a decade. He's one I'd take a bullet for. What I've gained from this book is priceless and has already impacted me and generations to come. Every man, and every woman who loves him, needs this message.' Rick Hinnant, American Ninja Warrior competitor and cofounder/co-owner of Grace & Lace (as seen on Shark Tank)

'For the rare few willing to enter into the quiet places of the soul, Becoming a King will prove to be one of the most radical, reorienting, and encouraging books you will ever read.' Zack Duhame, Screen Actors Guild Award winner and actor, Lone Survivor, Dunkirk, Star Trek, Transformers, and The Matrix

'I love this book. It engages the deep matters of the heart. It is a book for men, but be warned. It is as much a book for women to understand what it truly means to grow as a man and to love a woman. Morgan awakens in me the hunger to keep moving forward with hope. His call to kingship will unnerve your complacency while calling forth the best of your heart to take on what is truly yours and to throw down what is not. This is a life-shaping journey into the heart of the Father.' Dan B. Allender, PhD, author of Healing the Wounded Heart; professor of counseling psychology, The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology; and counselor and founder, The Allender Center

'I work with numerous men who are just now becoming kings and have been looking for a resource to use to come alongside them. I am profoundly grateful that Morgan Snyder, who truly knows this topic, has just handed me the tool I need!' Carter Crenshaw, senior pastor, West End Community Church, Nashville

'I'm always reluctant to write blurbs for book, and I didn't want to write an endorsement for Becoming a King--but then I read it. It's not sanctimonious advice written by somebody who's never had his knuckles bloody or his hands dirty or his heart broken; it's the honest account of a man who's been where every man needs to go sooner or later. I don't like to sign my name to things that don't matter. This matters.' Randall Wallace, Oscar-nominated screenwriter, film producer, director, Braveheart, We Were Soldiers, Heaven Is for Real

'If there is one book that you read this year on growing deeply as a man, this is it! I recommend not only Morgan's book but Morgan himself. You can no longer say, 'I don't know where to begin.' It begins with this book.' Bill Lokey, chief clinical director, Onsite Workshops (2010–2019)

'Morgan Snyder has taken the journey that he so compellingly invites other men to embark on in his beautifully written and wisdom-filled book. Courageously honest and true, Becoming a King is a worthy read that you will come back to time and time again and, as Morgan expresses so well, a noble calling to pursue. As a woman reading Becoming a King, I was inspired with how to better come alongside the men in my life, to lovingly encourage them in their lives' ultimate calling.' Stasi Eldredge, New York Times bestselling author of Captivating

'Morgan Snyder simply asks better questions. His pursuit of the root system of manhood, fatherhood, and royalty brings us within reach of deep truths that could help us outlast the modern brutal storm. This book is for the soul-hungry, sick-of-the-BS reader, which is why I love it. And Morgan picks a much better fight than you'd find in any ring in Vegas or any back-alley bar. His fight is for his own heart.' Jared Anderson, singer and songwriter of The Great I Am

'Morgan walks us into the basement of our souls, clicks on the light, and begins turning over skeletons and lies. What's at stake? You and me. But fear not. He's been here before. The scars are proof. This is neither theory nor theological wrangling. It's an excavation of the heart. A rescue mission to steal back the truth of us. This book may well shatter the paradigm you have of yourself--only to restore the one your Father has written on your heart. I love everything about this.' Charles Martin, New York Times bestselling author

'What boy doesn't love stories about kings and kingdoms and doesn't love crowns and swords and armor? What grown man doesn't still find himself drawn into their gallant stories? Maybe this says something profound about the way God made us as men as well as the desires he placed in our hearts. You are holding a map revealing the ancient path to the fulfillment of those desires. If you want to make that heroic journey, don't put it down. Read it.' Christopher West, ThD, president, Theology of the Body Institute, and author of Our Bodies Tell God's Story
