The Challenge Before You Is a Bold One: To Accept the Wild, Daring Adventure of Becoming a Man

We want to be self-sufficient. Find our own direction as we pursue our dreams. Know it all and never ask for help. Isn’t this how most guys approach manhood? On our own, pretending we are doing better than we really are? But sooner or later the thrill of independence gets lost in the fog of isolation.

It’s time to take the pressure off. We were never meant to figure life out on our own.

This book was born out of a series of weekly phone calls between Sam Eldredge, a young writer in his twenties, and his dad, best-selling author John Eldredge. 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.”

Excellent Book

Was looking for a book to help one of my sons and the cool thing was it also helped me.

The way to grow strong foryourself.

They deal the every day problems young men experience in a Christian way. It gives hope.

everyone needs to hear this story.

The Eldridge men create an insightful unveiling of modern man's struggles against a post manly society.

Timely!

This is a timely, much-needed guide for this generation of young men. It is more like sitting in on a conversation between father and son than listening to or reading a book. Excellent!

Wonderfull, This is a must for all men.

This book didn't just make me realize that I was rushing into a relationship but that I had to revise my entire life and see life from a new angle. This is a must for all men.
