"In my ministry, I want men to experience the healing and freedom that comes when you get real with yourself, with God, and with other men. That’s how we discover not only Whose we are, but the manhood we’re created for and the power to walk it out.”

In 1988, Gordon Dalbey's first book Healing the Masculine Soul pioneered the growing Christian men's movement, by calling men to a godly strength--neither the traditional violent, loner male nor the “counterculture” peace-and-love male. His unique focus has stirred men of all ages, races, and position. His groundbreaking 1991 Focus on the Family radio interviews drew a listener response in the top 10% of the show's history, and were re-broadcast in 1998 and 2003 as "classics."

Gordon's second book, Sons of the Father, offers healing for the father-wound, which cripples men today as husbands, fathers, workers, an friends.

Fight like a Man, his third book, shows how the unmet longing for Dad and a father’s manly guidance stirs deep shame in a man, and how Father God transforms us with His truth and grace into warriors for His Kingdom.

No Small Snakes, his most recent book, is the story of how Gordon first met and learned to overcome evil spirits in the power of the Holy Spirit.
