But todays man has no rites of passage, no elders, no map to manhood. He may physically be an adult, but still wonders, Am I a man?
When John Sowers twin daughters were born, he felt exposed, thinking manhood was out of reach. He needed direction. Following in the steps of ordinary men and the heroes of history, legend and myth, he uncovered a new and ancient road.
Walk with John on his personal quest to discover the wild masculine and to become all that God intended men to be. From a thrilling brush with Kodiak bears in Alaska, to a war hero who rescued his comrades in the Valley of Death, from mythic heroes of Tolkien, to the footsteps of the One, True Myth - as Jesus walked from village into the wilderness, and back again.
Stunningly written, this revolutionary book calls older men out of complacency and younger men out of confusion. It calls all men into the greater Story - into a life of sacrificial love, holy defiance, and clear purpose.

John is a loyal friend, husband, and dad, and his book is witty, honest, and full of heart. Im excited for you to get to know him.
Kelly Clarkson
Im part of a generation of lost boys that have a growing desire to somehow brave the transition out of Neverland and into the true epicthe life of a good man. John bids us to follow as he claws his way to the heart of manhood.
Josh Garrels, singer and songwriter
I love the way John sifts through the mixed and unhelpful messaging about what it means to be a man. In these beautifully written pages, hes searching for more than hammers and guns, and instead recovering qualities like honor, fidelity, and strength. This is important work.
Shauna Niequist, author of Bread & Wine
This book is an awakening for those who realize men have lost their way and are looking for something deepersomething mythic. This is not your everyday bravado man bookthis is Fight Club for intellectuals.
Claire Daz-Ortiz, head of social innovation, Twitter
THE HEROIC PATH takes you off the grid into the deep woods to see things youve never seen before. You will not return the same.
Ed Eason, lead guitarist for Carrie Underwood
I have a great appreciation for John Sowers, his words, his self-deprecating wit, and for his huge heart for the fatherless generation. In THE HEROIC PATH, John weaves together all three so men might feel a little less daunted about the road that lies ahead.
Lindsey Nobles, Director of Speakers, Conferences, and

If you want a mundane life, throw this book down immediately and go seek shelter. But if you are hunting for the wild masculine, read on. This book is not an instruction manual; it is a soul insurrection.
Jon Collins, digital storyteller at Sincerely Truman
Fatherless Generation: Redeeming the Story
For Rosie and Dassi
I first met John when he stepped off a Sea Beaver plane in the Canadian wilderness. Several of us met to plot and scheme about how to love and live better stories.
Hours later, we piled in boats and I dropped John and others off one-by-one at the base of rocky cliffs a hundred miles from the nearest roads, to spend time alone reflecting in quiet solitude.
When I came back to pick John up a few hours later, I found him standing on the top of a tall cliff. But instead of climbing down to get in the boat, he jumped. Im not kidding. He grabbed his knees and did a cannonball.
Since that trip, John and I have become close friends. He attacks life like he climbed that cliff. He relentlessly loves his wife, his daughters and strangers like hes doing a cannonball. He is a fierce and loyal advocate. He is a hero for the fatherless. Best of all, he is my friend. Hell be yours too after you finish reading this book.
The Heroic Path is his learning journey.
It is part poetic, part prophetic. It is raw and gripping. John leads us into the deep end of manhood. Not the shallow Lets Be Macho end. Like John, this book is full of soul and life and risk.
It is for the man who realizes weve gone off course and need to find the path again and start walking. At the core of his message is this statement: The men who change history are those who love well. I think John is right. Love is a force. And Johns brand of love is a force of nature.
This book will push you, comfort you, move you, provoke you, and disrupt you. It is witty and insightful, risky and provocative.
I am so glad to introduce you to my friend John Sowers.
Bob Goff, New York Times
bestselling author of Love Does
Manhood feels like a mysterious destination. This is where we start the journey.
I watched helplessly as Kari struggled for her next breath. The room was chock-full of doctors and nurses, with surgeons on call, waiting for our twins to arrive. Kari had been in labor a full day, but it didnt matter. We had waited nine months and a lifetime.
Now we were ready. Ready to feel those tiny hands squeeze our fingers. Ready to see the color of their eyes. Ready to hear their first cries.
Kari was strong and determined.
She was radiant. Fierce and beautiful like a Nordic queen.
Sahara Rose came out first, squirming like a tadpole. With a head full of raven black hair and compassion on her brow, she was bright and full of spirit and life and soul. We called her Rosie.
Hadassah Ruth came out next, crying and flapping. She was full of music and laughter and sound and joy. The nurses put her on Karis chest. Her tiny cries sounded exactly like a little bird, Laa Laa Laa! So we called her Little Bird.
From somewhere outside my body, I heard myself yell.
Before that moment, I wasnt sure how I would react. Some men faint or cry. My yell was a mixture of relief and triumph. Until then, I had held every emotion in check: concern, fear, doubt, and excitement. The yell sprang up from some hidden place deep within, booming outward, no longer able to be contained.
