I recently finished Fathered By God: Learning What Your Dad Could Never Teach You by John Eldredge.

Personally I found this a very good book. As a matter of fact I think I will go as far as saying that it ranks in my top 10 personal favorites. Some of it may have to do with the stage of life that I am currently in and also the fact that I didn’t have much of a father figure in my life growing up. Although, regardless of your stage of life and background I would highly recommend this book. Here’s just a few things I took away from this book:

• We aren’t meant to figure life out on our own. God wants to father us.
• To become a man…a boy must have a guide, a father…
• The crisis of leadership…is largely due to one dilemma: men have been given power, but they are unprepared to handle it.
• Fatherlessness has become so normal we don’t even think about it much.
• We need fathering our entire lives.
• God will father us in many different and unexpected ways if we will just let him.

Go here to purchase this book. I hope it impacts you as much as it did me.
