Today's man is in an identity crisis. With a never-ending barrage
of confusing, condescending, and condemning voices telling him who
he is and who he isn't, it can feel impossible to discover who he
was made to be. Men were made to be kings, to protect the light,
fight the darkness, and rule well the domain God has given them.
But to be a good king, men must act in the likeness of the King.
Drawing on the ancient tradition of an older and wiser ruler
passing on his wisdom, like Solomon in the book of Proverbs, Nathan
Clarkson offers young men 40 short and to-the-point letters for the
journey. Packed with practical, biblically based advice on
real-life issues, this book helps men base their identity not in
who the world says they should be but in who their King says they
can be. For the modern man looking to live out a greater story, The
Way of Kings offers ancient wisdom rooted in sacred Scripture to
help him discover who he was created to be.
One look at our cultural moment and it's easy to tell that men and
their identities are in crisis. Though lost and fractured, men face
the pressure to be perfect. Our reactionary society is quick to
condemn and slow to forgive, leaving men more confused than ever
about how to live and who to be. Yet in Scripture, we continually
find God choosing to work in and through flawed, imperfect, and
broken individuals. Men who had massive character flaws and
significant moral failings, but who also shared one important
characteristic: the desire to follow the call of their Creator.
With engaging personal stories and insight into biblical truths,
Nathan Clarkson declares to today's man that he is more than what
the culture is telling him he is--angry, selfish, predatory,
violent, and bored. Instead, still on the journey himself, Nathan
calls today's man to find his identity in the One who created him
on purpose, for a purpose, and encourages him to live an honest,
authentic life marked by a winsome combination of confidence and
humility.

others. The irresistible rhymes paired with Tim Warnes's whimsical
illustrations encourage your children with the reassurance they're
