- elders,
- no
- map
- to
- manhood.
- He
- may

- 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.

- in
- the
- steps
- of
- ordinary
- men

- uncovered
- a
- new
- and
- ancient
- road.Walk

- intended
- men
- to
- be.
- From
- a
- thrilling
- brush
- with

- 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
