Gordon Dalbey

Gordon Dalbey authored four books targeted at Christian men and is a popular speaker in the Christian men's movement, at conferences, retreats, and on radio and TV shows. ^[1]

Education

Dalbey attended three universities in the United States: he holds a Masters in Divinity from Harvard, an M.A. in journalism from Stanford, and a B.A. in mathematics from Duke. After school he sought interesting opportunities including being a news reporter in Charlotte, NC, a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nigeria, a high school teacher in San Francisco and Chicago, and a Christian minister in Los Angeles.^[1]

Books

His first book, Healing the Masculine Soul, brought him attention in the field of Christian men's development. His 1991 appearances on the Focus on the Family radio program drew a listener response in the top 10% of the show's history; these were re-broadcast in 1998 and 2003.

In a later book, Sons of the Father, he proposes healing for what he calls the “father-wound,” which he asserts cripples men as husbands, fathers, workers, and friends. Fight Like a Man, his third book, presents his theory that the unmet longing for “Dad” and a father’s manly guidance stirs deep shame in a man, and how a “Father God” transforms us into warriors for “His Kingdom.”

Dalbey's articles have appeared in several magazines and newspapers, including New Man, Focus on the Family, Leadership, The Priest, Los Angeles Times, Single Parent Family, and Reader’s Digest.^{[citation needed]} He now divides his time between writing, speaking, and a private practice as a minister.

His newest book entitled No Small Snakes tells Dalbey's memoir of becoming the spiritual warrior he is today. Written in 2008, the book is geared towards men and women.
