In this highly creative book, the author uses stories as "leads" to connect to the strongly felt needs of today's men. Readers will be gripped by the drama and even more by the readily identifiable problems facing the male characters in the stories that begin each chapter. Morley avoids evangelical language precious to Christians but alien to many men who will want to read this book.

Author Morley approaches the audience from four angles which are of interest to the prodigal Christian: why isn't life turning out as planned, why does a man need to come back to God, how can a man come back to God, and what are the right steps to going on with God. Because the book will illustrate the lives of men in similar situations, it will explain the futility of a life without God, picture the pathway back to God through repentance and faith, and present the steps needed to be taken for building a life with God. The book's three parts are: Disappointment with God, Wanting God, and Coming Back to God.

Patrick Morley believes that this book is at the core of his ministry to men. It complements Man in the Mirror, which identifies thecommon characteristics of men seeking to apply their Christianity, but ultimately goes beyond Man in the Mirror to reach the many broken, disillusioned men who want to come home.
