This is a book about what it looks like to become a man, and--far more to our need--how to become a man.  There is no more hazardous undertaking, this business of "becoming a man," full of dangers, counterfeits, and disasters.  It is the Great Trial of every man's life, played out over time, and every male young and old finds himself in this journey.  Though there are few who find their way through.  Our perilous journey has been made all the more difficult because we live in a time with very little direction.  A time with very few fathers to show us the way.

In 2006 John released The Way of the Wild Heart--a  deep and full book with guidance for men and for those raising boys.  The title proved to be confusing; many people mistook it for Wild at Heart and missed out on its contents.  Fathered by God is a slimmer version of The Way of the Wild Heart and our hope is that the nine out of ten men who loved Wild at Heart but missed out on this message will discover it now, and discover in it all that they need to carry on the journey.

To avoid further confusion, if you have purchased The Way of the Wild Heart, you already own the material in Fathered By God. So, no need to purchase both resources. We hope this message encourages your walk with God.
