Every man was once a boy. And every little boy has dreams, big dreams: dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty.

Join the conversation as a father and son talk about pursuing beauty, dealing with money, getting married, chasing dreams, knowing something real with God, and how to find a life you can call your own. Killing Lions is more than fatherly advice. It is an invitation into a journey: either to be the son who receives fathering or the father who learns what must be spoken. Most important, these conversations speak to a searching generation: "You are not alone. Its not all up to you. You are going to find your way."

Follow one man’s journey of learning to hear the voice of God. By putting words to the things God has shown him through some amazing experiences, John Eldredge helps listeners shed light on the miraculous truths that God is showing them right now. Our deepest need is to live in conversation with God. To hear his voice. To follow him intimately. This is the single most life-changing habit that a human being can adopt, because it brings us back to the source of life. Yet most Christians have never been taught how to have a conversation with the Creator.

How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance - certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That's because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don't appear to change anything. Either response can lead to disappointment or even despair in the face of our ongoing battles and unmet longings - especially when we don't know if we're doing something wrong or if some prayers just don't work.

Sometimes it seems we just can't get what we want. Circumstances thwart our best-laid plans. We struggle to live a heartfelt life. Worst of all, says Eldredge, the modern church mistakenly teaches its people to kill desire (calling it sin) and replace it with duty or obligation (calling it sanctification).

This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home - the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things", by which he means the Earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter, and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new".

What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us - the inner struggle with anger, or contempt, the habitual sins. Is such an experience possible? John Eldredge believes it is, and in The Utter Relief of Holiness, he shows listeners how they can be that free, through the healing work of Christ in their lives. It begins when we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration and find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity.

This dramatic retelling of the gospel illuminates the unique role we can play in the amazing story God is telling. Sure, good things happen, sometimes beautiful things. But tragic things happen too. What does it mean? We find ourselves in the middle of a story that is sometimes wonderful, sometimes awful, usually a confusing mixture of both, and we haven’t a clue how to make sense of it all. No wonder we keep losing heart. We need to know the rest of the story.

The Hero's Journey is God's Story
- By Phillip on 08-21-18
By: John Eldredge
Publisher's 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 reading
Books read by the author are very hit-or-miss, and unfortunately I'd have to say more often it's a miss. This was just the opposite. This may be the best author reading I've heard. The content was wonderful and exactly what I need, and I felt like John and I were sitting in a room together having a conversation.

Life changing.
I wish more authors would narrate their own books. This book is so much more powerful because John Eldridge reads it with the tone he wrote it in! That makes such a big difference.
Production notes aside, this book has literally been life changing for me. I didn’t realize the stages of manhood that I was never initiated in, and that many of my life’s trials were God my Father’s sovereign work in my life to initiate me into a new stage of manhood! Now I want to pass those trials instead of side-step them. Truth be told I’m in the middle of a heavy one right now, and I’m about to listen to this again with the workbook. I can not recommend it enough.

Paradigm shifting
I first read this years ago when the book was called Way of the Wild Heart. It was impactful then, but listening to John Eldredge read it himself was so much more powerful. As I struggle to understand what and truly means to be a man, and how to seek those experiences that initiate me in manhood, I am beyond thankful for examples and guides such as this one to help me understand the journey that God is bringing me through. You owe it to yourself to go on this journey.

So many applications!!
This book is a must read if you are a father… Or a man who has ever had a father or been wounded by a father or in search of a father or just looking to have questions answered you might not have even known you had.. It is for any wife or mother who wants her husband to be this man and her son to develop properly as a man.

Your headed in the right direction my brother
Pray, seek, listen, your story is just beginning. God has more for you. This book has been such a game changer as a young of man of 27 years old in the discerning process to step away from my occupation as a carpenter to serve in ministry under what John calls a Sage. I lost my earthy father to suicide 4 years ago. We had our rough patches to say the least. I want this comment to encourage men of all ages and circumstances. We try to do "right" as a man but there's something missing as John discusses in his books and lays out to such a fashion that only could of been guided by the Holy Spirit. We have a Very Good Father in Heaven. He is not finish with you. Take the steps one at a time and do what the apostle Paul says, find joy in the suffering and being slaves to Christ. Christ is sufficient

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.

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
