There is a path resulting in authentic manhood, cut by men who’ve gone just before us, sons following in the footsteps of their fathers, generation after generation. There are perils along the path, even disasters?even more reason to depend on the guidance of a Father who has truly gone before.

However in an age when true fathers are an issue, how will you find the path to manhood? How do you pun intended, the dangers?

John Eldredge calls men back to a straightforward and reassuring truth: God is our Dad. In life’s tests and triumphs, God can be initiating young boys and guys through the stages of manhood from Beloved Son to Cowboy to Warrior to Enthusiast to Ruler to Sage.

Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood?no more tips, not really another list of principles, not really formulas, but a sure path men have followed for years and years before us.

Find that path and become the person God views in you.
