Narrated by: Morgan Snyder

Length: 10 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

What does power and responsibility look like for Christian men in our world today? Becoming a King offers men a guide to becoming one to whom God can entrust his kingdom.

Journey with Morgan Snyder as he walks alongside men (and the women who love and encourage them) to rediscover the path of inner transformation. Becoming a King is an invitation into a radical reconstruction of much of what we’ve come to believe about God, masculinity, and the meaning of life.

Curated and distilled over more than two decades and drawn from the lives of more than seventy-five men, Morgan shares his discovery of an ancient and reliable path to restoring and becoming the kind of man who can wield power for good. With examples from the lives of the great heroes of faith as well as wise men from Morgan’s own life, break through doubt and discover the power of restoration.

In Becoming a King, you will:

• Reconstruct your understanding of masculinity and who God truly intended you to be
• Learn to become a man of unshakable strength and courage
• Reclaim your identity, integrity, and purpose

Traveling this path isn’t easy. But the heroic journey detailed within Becoming a King leads to real life—to men becoming as solid and mighty as oak trees, teeming with strength and courage to bring healing to a hurting world; and to sons, husbands, brothers, and friends becoming the kind of kings to whom God can entrust his kingdom.

Audiobook-exclusive content includes: Extended prayers, additional reflections, and a conversation you won’t want to miss. Morgan Snyder gathered three of his closest allies who have all lived, breathed, and consented to the message of Becoming a King for over a decade. Hear their stories and lock arms with them in the unshakeable hope that more life, strength, and joy are available than we have been led to believe.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

'I'm always reluctant to write blurbs for book, 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.'

—Randall Wallace, Oscar-nominated screenwriter, film producer, director, Braveheart, We Were Soldiers, Heaven Is for Real

'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.'

—Stasi Eldredge, New York Times bestselling author of Captivating

'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 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.'

—Jared Anderson, singer and songwriter of The Great I Am

Must read!

I was blown away and moved. I'm a single mom to a wonderful 6 year old and to have this amazing insight is nothing short of a blessing. His dad was not/is not a strong figure in his life and I have a constant worry about providing good strong masculine influence and raising him to be a good man, the man God wants him to be. This book spoke to me, even as a woman, and gave me wonderful direction to leading my son to grow on this path to becoming a king. Thank you to everyone a part of this.

Revive your Masculine Purpose

This book was created at an amazing time in my life. I when to Wild at Heart Boot Camp this Feb.. and immediately after read John Eldredge Fathered By God and Get your Life Back.....
As a guy that Grew up without a Father, I had an amazing adventurous Childhood.... and realized that My Father, Our Father God was there the whole time.
This book is the icing on the Cake for me in that walk...……… thanks Morgan..

Life Changing

I would reccommend this book for every man. It is filled with so much life and hope. The wisdom contained in it is not pie-in-the-sky stuff, it is real and accessable.

The gravity of this book is the authenticity and raw courage with which Morgan Snyder squares off with the deepest questions that haunts us as men. He uncovers a narrow road, an adventure that I desperately longed for.

A wonderfully tailored men's message in this age

Recorded by the author, this is an oasis for the masculine soul in this age. Applicable for any age man but specifically men entering their 30's.
Men who have experienced a little pain in their life will gain a lot from this book. Men who are looking for a better path, a narrow path, a more soul giving path to life.
The experience of the audio version with its extras was an unexpected delight.

Life-Giving and Life-Altering Content Ahead

Excellent narration from the book's author. I will be sifting the truths of this book for the rest of my life, and my friends and family will be the better for it. Morgan - thanks for saying Yes to God and for allowing us to stand on your shoulders. See you on the battlefield or at the feast brother.

A heart-changing message for EVERY MAN

This will easily become one of those books that I must read at least once a year. I absolutely love the author's intent, and his guidance in becoming. Every chapter, and almost every word tugged at my heartstrings and challenged me. It hit me in my heart and Holy Spirit was confirming with me as I read the words of Becoming a King. Thank you, Morgan, for being obedient to the Spirit and presenting this for us. Alright, I've got to go and pick out a knife and rent a cabin.

Just in time!

What a wonderful book on the masculine heart and what it means to be a real man. Great read!

My favorite audiobook this year!

As an avid Audible audiobook 'reader/listener' this audiobook has made the top of my list. It's read wonderfully by the author himself. He does an exceptional job. The book is beautifully written. The teachings are rich, deep and practical. It takes quite a man to pursue this path, but I'm now convinced that it's the only way. The timing of this this book couldn't be better with all of the challenges men face today. I expect it to be well received and critically acclaimed. Well done!

fantastic

Awesome book! looking forward to future decades of becoming. This has been a great challenge and I recommend really taking the time to chew on the content.

Solid read as a whole

I wouldn't read this for a purely Chrisitan read because he just isn't Biblical but the book is a great listen for solid masculine growth. I enjoyed his words alot and took the Christian part with a grain of salt especially when he referenced "The Message" translation haha
