Summary
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.

Great Insight
This book follows on nicely from book 1 ‘Wild at Heart’ which had some serious gold, so probably best to listen to that first. This isn’t one of those books you finish reading & tick off your list. As for me anyway I’ll be back to this gold mine several times & definitely introduce other quality guys to it. If change & understanding oneself was easy, everyone would do it - take the time to invest in yourself & your 10 year old self in the future will thank you.

Fathered by God
This is a follow on from "Wild at heart". The book describes the stages in a man's life and seeks to initiate the male reader through each stage. It describes how wounds can be inflicted in the stage and offers advice on how to heal people through these wounds and how people can be supported.
I found the book thought provoking and allowed me to reflect and understand what to do to seek answers to questions I have had in my mind for some time. It was both helpful and guiding.

Great Sequel To The First Book
This is a book that ties nicely to the first one. To understand this book or audio book reader needs two "readings" and the first book.

I found this book inspiring as I too lost my earthly Father young and have been fathered by god through my life. I wish I had this book 40 years ago.

One of the best books
A Profound Exploration of manhood and faith
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.
5 out of 5 stars
I would also like to add that Fathered by God has touched the lives of countless readers around the world. It has been praised for its ability to heal broken relationships, rekindle faith, and offer hope in the midst of despair. If you're looking for a book that will challenge you, inspire you, and change your perspective on God and fatherhood, then Fathered by God is a must-read.
I hope this review is helpful!
