Publisher's Description
Enter a radical reconstruction of what we've learned to believe about God and masculinity. The Becoming A King Study Guide is an invitation to enter a rare and remarkable fellowship of like-hearted men. It's a call to have honest conversations about what power and responsibility look like for men in our world today. It's a journey to rediscover your kingship in Christ and the narrow path that leads to this inner transformation. In this six-session video Bible study, journey with Morgan into a process that helps men discover and recover: Our true courage Our vulnerability God's design and desire to empower us in his Kingdom. It is God's intention to entrust us to participate in the ongoing creativity of the universe. Yet, even a glance at our history and the world around us shows that the story of most men who are entrusted with power is a story of self-harm and harm of those under their care. What's gone wrong? When can you entrust a man with power as God intended? When we take a deeper look at the external problems around us, we begin to see that the problems lie rooted within our own souls. Despite that, there is hope. Curated and distilled over more than two decades, and mined from the lives of over seventy-five sages who have gone before us, Morgan shares what he discovered: an ancient and reliable path to restoring the heart of a man and becoming the kind of man who can wield power for good. This study includes video notes, group discussion questions, and between-session personal study for each session. Sessions include: Becoming Powerful Becoming a Son Becoming the Man You Were Born to Be Becoming a Generalist The Way of Becoming Becoming a King Designed for use with the Becoming a King Video Study (9780310115267), sold separately. Streaming video also available.
Endorsements (15)
“I’m always reluctant to write blurbs for books, and I didn’t want to write an endorsement for Becoming a King—but then I read it. It’s not sanctimonious advice written by somebody who’s never had his knuckles bloody or his hands dirty or his heart broken; it’s the honest account of a man who’s been where every man needs to go sooner or later. I don’t like to sign my name to things that don’t matter. This matters.”
“Morgan Snyder has taken the journey that he so compellingly invites other men to embark on in his beautifully written and wisdom-filled book. Courageously honest and true, Becoming a King is a worthy read that you will come back to time and time again and, as Morgan expresses so well, a noble calling to pursue. As a woman reading Becoming a King, I was inspired with how to better come alongside the men in my life, to lovingly encourage them in their lives’ ultimate calling.”
“Morgan Snyder simply asks better questions. His pursuit of the root system of manhood, fatherhood, and royalty brings us within reach of deep truths that could help us outlast the modern brutal storm. This book is for the soul-hungry, sick-of-the-BS reader, which is why I love it. And Morgan Morgan picks a much better fight than you’d find in any ring in Vegas or any back-alley bar. His fight is for his own heart.”
“Morgan walks us into the basement of our souls, clicks on the light, and begins turning over skeletons and lies. What’s at stake? You and me. But fear not. He’s been here before. The scars are proof. This is neither theory nor theological wrangling. It’s an excavation of the heart. A rescue mission to steal back the truth of us. This book may well shatter the paradigm you have of yourself—only to restore the one your Father has written on your heart. I love everything about this.”
“I love this book. It engages the deep matters of the heart. It is a book for men, but be warned. It is as much a book for women to understand what it truly means to grow as a man and to love a woman. Morgan awakens in me the hunger to keep moving forward with hope. His call to kingship will unnerve your complacency while calling forth the best of your heart to take on what is truly yours and to throw down what is not. This is a life-shaping journey into the heart of the Father.”
“Becoming a King is a rare and essential invitation to living true and becoming a man God can entrust with more. Though Morgan is younger than me, words could never describe how I’ve been mentored by him for more than a decade. He’s one I’d take a bullet for. What I’ve gained from this book is priceless and has already impacted me and generations to come. Every man, and every woman who loves him, needs this message.”
“For the rare few willing to enter into the quiet places of the soul, Becoming a King will prove to be one of the most radical, reorienting, and encouraging books you will ever read.”
“I work with numerous men who are just now becoming kings and have been looking for a resource to use to come alongside them. I am profoundly grateful that Morgan Snyder, who truly knows this topic, has just handed me the tool I need!”
“If there is one book that you read this year on growing deeply as a man, this is it! I recommend not only Morgan’s book but Morgan himself. You can no longer say, ‘I don’t know where to begin.’ It begins with this book.”
“What boy doesn’t love stories about kings and kingdoms and doesn’t love crowns and swords and armor? What grown man doesn’t still find himself drawn into their gallant stories? Maybe this says something profound about the way God made us as men as well as the desires he placed in our hearts. You are holding a map revealing the ancient path to the fulfillment of those desires. If you want to make that heroic journey, don’t put it down. Read it.”
“Becoming a King is the map for living a wholehearted life. Morgan is a cartographer, lovingly drawing in the contour lines of a healthy man’s soul grounded in a vibrant life with God. Become who you were intended to be and accept the adventurous and gracious wisdom reclaimed from God’s intimate invitation to find and walk the ancient path of freedom.”
“What Morgan has done to curate and distill the message of Becoming a King over the past few decades is honestly something I respect more than almost any other journey I’ve been honored to witness over my lifetime.”
“I have waited a decade for Morgan Snyder’s first book. This man is a true warrior of the Light, and these pages teem with the wisdom that can come only from fighting on the front line, conveyed with honesty, seasoned with humility, and refined by deep reflection. His work will inspire this generation and undergird the next.”
“No one has challenged me to become the man I was created to be, and shown me the path to getting there, more than Morgan has over the past several years. It’s exciting that that path is now in print. I can’t wait to get this book into the hands of all the men I know and the women who love them.”
“I would not be the husband, father, business owner, and friend I am today without the message in this book.”
