About this listen
Men have a glorious and significant role in God's larger story. They also are the target of a special warfare aimed continually and ruthlessly at the center of their being: their masculine hearts. Naivety and ignorance keep many men running in circles while misinformation and poor training keep many more in bondage. Men are wounded, frustrated, angry, and being crushed under the weight of criticism and expectations. The attempted solutions of recent years have been through mere education: Tell men what they are doing wrong and give them a list to memorize. This strategy isn't working, and it's time we fall back to an ancient one.
What if we are setting men up for failure rather than helping them be free? This is a book about being a "Beloved Son", "receiving love" from God, and the affect that should have in settling a man's heart. Then, and only then, is the foundation set for a man to enter the "Battle".
From the introduction, Thompson shares his thoughts: "I hope to one day see the hearts of men so foundationally settled, so well-trained, so well-equipped, and so well-engaged that when evil dare raise its head, Beloved Sons/Warrior men will know what to do and will do it well."
Join Christian author and guide, Michael Thompson, as he invites men to a place of training and orientation that will ensure both a settled heart and a fierce courage. A man cannot enter this battle without knowing he is a "Beloved Son". After all, that is what the battle is all about! Michael is the founder of Zoweh Ministries and author of Search and Rescue: The Life and Love That Is Looking for You.

There is a war on masculinity, and everywhere we look—on every front we hold sacred—we can see the painful reminders of this collapsing order. The chaos and crisis we are experiencing today should be a signal for men everywhere to rise up; to fight to preserve our way of life by once again walking the ancient paths. But this isn’t a journey that need be taken alone.

Story
The Bible is a piercing drama, a tale of prophets and wandering spirits, heroic mothers and flashing swords, cosmic mountains, and a dry, shadowy Sheol. It is a true story that defines the nature and purpose of reality, and its claims are astonishing. But few modern listeners experience the Bible that way. In this groundbreaking audiobook, celebrated storyteller Blaine Eldredge draws upon years of research to illuminate the story of the Bible through the lives of six kingly characters.

In life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood from beloved son to cowboy to warrior to lover to king to 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.

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.

Our deepest need is to live in conversation with God. To hear his voice. To follow him intimately.

In his groundbreaking book fifteen years ago, Gordon Dalbey identified the fact that men's souls have been torn between strength and sensitivity. Today, the situation is even worse. The politically correct crowd cries out for men to be more sensitive, to tame their masculine nature. On the opposing side, the media bombards men with "macho" images of violence and lust.

For decades Jason Wilson was losing the war within - the internal battle that many men wage daily but were never taught how to win. As a result, he could not combat his toxic thoughts and emotions. Instead, he was conquered by them and communicated without composure - hurting those he loved and himself. This went on until he renewed his mind by releasing years of past trauma. His life and relationships were transformed when he learned how to master his emotions and express them with self-control. In the process, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader.

Jamie Winship spent nearly thirty years living and working in conflict zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive, fully human, and fully free. Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person he created you to be—and also about all those other people he created and loves.

Needed encouragement
This book is exactly what God’s Man needs to be reminded of. In the battle. Before the battle. After the battle. Reminded that the Father who he is fighting for is the one whom sustains and empowers His son’s to fight. That God created warriors for his purpose, accomplishing His mission. The hearts of those around him; but his own must be won first. Great read!! Thank you Michael for being obedient and putting into words the encouragement God wants His sons to hear and know.

Great guide tospiritual warfare/ personal healing
This book picked up, exactly where I'm at in my walk with Father. It touched my mind and heart. Parts made me cry. Any man, who is involved or interested in spiritual warfare, or warfare for your own heart. One who knows he is in need of healing, this book will become a battle plan. A guide. Filled with great questions, movie references and scripture to explain and back up what he says. Loved every second of it.

Please read this brother
Michael does a wonderful job of capturing the truth and the offer of Jesus. This book will help men recover their hearts, and become oriented with proper perspective to what’s going on in them and all around them. Most of all they will come into deeper, understanding of who they are, and who God says they are.
Come, my friends come jump in with us, and soak in everything you’ve been longing to hear!
If you’re familiar with the Wild At Heart ministry, then this is a wonderful book in between Wild at Heart and becoming a king. This book falls right in line with them, and is filled with treasure.
