Synopsis

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 really enjoyed this book. I read this book over two different seasons of life, and I felt like that was a healthy way for me to go about it. The book goes over what Eldredge describes as the six stages of the masculine journey, those being: Boyhood, Cowboy, Warrior, Lover, King, and Sage. It is im......more

I’ve heard a lot of people talk about John Eldredge, but had never read anything by him until now. This book highlights the general stages men go through over the course of their lives. I would maybe give this book a higher rating, but I recently learned about some of the material shared so I didn’t......more

Goodreads review by Austin on June 25, 2022

In Fathered by God by John Eldredge, Eldredge describes several stages of life men go through (although some overlap quite a bit) and how the role a father,especially our Heavenly Father, can promote these areas of our life. Eldredge does a great job of making his points understandable through illus......more
