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, 2003, and 2008 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.
A popular speaker at conferences and retreats, and on radio and TV shows, Gordon has ministered throughout the US and around the world in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Switzerland, Hong Kong and South Africa. A former news reporter (Charlotte, NC), Peace Corps Volunteer (Nigeria), high school teacher (San Francisco, Chicago), and pastor (Los Angeles), he holds an M.Div. from Harvard, an M.A. in journalism from Stanford, and a B.A. in mathematics from Duke.
Gordon’s articles have appeared in a wide variety of magazines and newspapers, including New Man, Focus on the Family, Leadership, The Priest, Los Angeles Times, Single Parent Family, and Reader’s Digest.
Gordon now divides his ministry time between writing, conference speaking, and a private practice in prayer ministry. He lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his wife and son.
