Like Father, Like Son: How Knowing God As Father Changes Men [Paperback]

Beyond Trying to Be a Real Man

What do men need in the twenty-first century? There are so many opinionssome think the answer is a masculine to-do list. Others give detailed directions on how to become a real man. Those things can be helpful, but do they get to the core of the identity issues that men are facing today? You cant know who you are and who you are meant to be without knowing the love of your Fatherthat is, your Father in heaven. Without knowing the Fathers love and acceptance, men are adrift looking for identity in imperfect relationships or cultural norms about manhood. But knowing Gods fatherly love changes everything. A man who is forgiven and accepted by his heavenly Father is free to become like him. Living out of the love of God the Father changes everything for his sons.

Instead of telling men how to recover and reclaim their masculinity, Pete Alwinson invites men to recover and reclaim an intimate, growing relationship with their heavenly Father and live out of that identity in their particular calling as sons, fathers, brothers, friends. Using personal stories and anecdotes from his many years of mens ministry, Pete shows men that the way forward in life and relationships is through their growing relationship with their heavenly Father.
