Like Father, Like Son

Getting Free from People, Patterns, and Problems

By: Pete Alwinson

Narrated by: Pete Alwinson

If you don't know what it means to be a "real man", there are approximately 2,341 books waiting to enlighten you. But many of them will leave you burdened with a masculine to-do list, resigned to passivity in the face of impossible expectations, or convinced that your manhood has been indelibly marked by an absentee father. These miss the biblical mark.

Whether your dad was absent or present, passive or aggressive, positive or negative - you need to know the love of your father in heaven in order to discover who you are and who you are meant to be. Forty years of experience in men's ministry has convinced Pete Alwinson that knowing God's fatherly love changes everything for a man.

Instead of outlining how to recover and reclaim masculinity, 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. A man who is forgiven and accepted by his heavenly father is free to become like him.

Like Father, Like Son is a refreshing message of grace amongst the voices encouraging men to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. By focusing men on their biblical, core identity - being sons of the Father by grace - it channels the thirst for adventure and freedom into a radical exploration of grace.

Like Father, Like Son is easy-to-understand and conversational, full of personal stories and anecdotes that will encourage males to believe that God's grace alone turns them into real men. No bootstraps required.
