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, bestselling 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.

Perfect for Dads of Young Men

Would you consider the audio edition of Killing Lions to be better than the print version?

Today's generation too often prefers the simplicity and flexibility of listening/watching over reading. Having this in audio form not only brought the story to life through the narration directly by John and his son Sam, but perfectly fit my desire to be able to share this with my young adult sons who have left home and off to college. Their feedback has been better than expected, felt it was very relevant to issues they were dealing with. Highly recommend to other dads who desire to stay engaged in their sons lives.

Current CCU student here. thanks for sharing

Awesome book. would recommend to any who strives for better in life. If you have values, morals and integrity than this is a book for you.

Find your Lions!

Loved the warrior spirit and truth the authors shared. A must read for not only young couples but even married couples struggling or not. This book will strengthen your spirit.

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.

Wish I had this in college

I seriously wish this book was written when I was college. There are huge nuggets of truth in this book. The reading performance between Sam Eldredge and his father, John Eldredge is perfect. It's as if you were eavesdropping in a deep and honest, father and son conversation. There is much wisdom in this book, and I highly recommend it. (I'm already halfway through my second reading of this!)

A conversation with dad

This book is a great listen on the struggles of young men in todays’s culture with some fatherly advice. I think in some ways the narration between a son and his father makes it a better book for listening then reading. Recommend for dads with teenagers and young men in early to mid 20’s.
