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.

Eldridge's Fathered by God is more than just a book; it's a transformative experience. Through his raw and vulnerable prose, Eldridge invites readers on a journey to uncover the profound depths of manhood, both human and divine. His words pierce through facades and defenses, laying bare the core longings of every human heart for a loving, affirming father figure.
A tapestry of vulnerability and wisdom
Eldridge's own story of grappling with a distant father serves as a powerful springboard for his exploration of God's fatherly love. He masterfully weaves together personal anecdotes, biblical insights, and theological depth, creating a tapestry rich in vulnerability and wisdom.
A transformative message for all
This book is not just for fathers or sons. It's for anyone who has ever yearned for a deeper connection with the divine. Eldridge's message of God's unconditional love and acceptance is transformative, offering hope and healing to all who seek it.
Here are some specific things I loved about the book:
Eldridge's writing style is both lyrical and relatable. He has a gift for weaving together complex theological concepts with evocative imagery and raw emotion.
The book is full of practical insights. Eldridge doesn't just tell us about God's love; he shows us how to experience it in our own lives.
The message is one of hope and healing. Whether you're struggling with a difficult relationship with your own father or simply yearning for a closer connection with God, Fathered by God offers a beacon of light.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of fatherhood, faith, and the love of God.
