About this listen

There is a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by men who have gone before us, sons following in the footsteps of their fathers, generation after generation. There are perils along the trail, even disasters - all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a father who has gone before.

But in an age when true fathers are in short supply, how do you find the path to manhood? How do you steer clear of the dangers?

John Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our father. In 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:

  • Boyhood
  • Cowboy
  • Warrior
  • Lover
  • King
  • Sage

Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood - not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a sure path men have followed for centuries before us.

Find that path and become the man God sees in you.

Essential reading for men

The lessons and content of the book is deep and enlightening as we discover the different phases of being a man.
Well presented in each chapter as I discover myself, see the past versions of me I never appreciated and how to step forward boldly into the next season of manhood

Author read

Having done the Fathered by God course and read the book, it was super cool to hear John read it with all the tonality and empathizing of certain words that only an author can do. Awesome
