A father-and-son conversation about becoming a man

Built around weekly phone calls between author John Eldredge and his son Sam, a young writer in his twenties, this Christian living book considers the challenges of early adulthood through the exchange of questions and advice. The topics range from career, money and dating to faith, decision-making, marriage and pursuing dreams amid uncertainty. Scripture provides the book’s stated foundation, while its conversational structure places guidance alongside the questions and struggles young men may bring to a father figure. The framing also extends beyond the son’s experience, inviting fathers to consider what they pass on.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young men considering questions of identity, work, relationships and faith from a Christian perspective
  • Fathers interested in reflecting on guidance and conversations with their sons
  • Readers who prefer advice organized around a father-and-son dialogue

Book overview

Accept the wild, daring adventure of becoming a man. Learn about the potential pitfalls, joys, and triumphs that lay ahead as you begin the journey to become the man God created you to be.

We all desire to be self-sufficient and find our own direction as we pursue our dreams. We want to know it all and never ask for help. But sooner or later the thrill of independence gets lost in the fog of isolation and uncertainty.

It's time to take the pressure off. We were never meant to figure life out on our own. We need mentors and guides to show us the way and share their earned wisdom. Killing Lions 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 John and Sam talk about real life issues and struggles, including:

  • Figuring out a career and calling
  • Dealing with money
  • Identity and validation
  • Love and dating
  • Decision making
  • Spiritual warfare
  • Questions and doubts about God
  • Getting married
  • Chasing dreams
  • Setting off on your adventure when circumstances are uncertain.

 

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. Rooted in Scripture and full of honest wisdom, Killing Lions will help you face and conquer the trials that lay ahead as you become the man God created you to be.
