All men must reckon with midlife. The time comes for every man where he realizes the morning of his life will soon turn towards afternoon. There is just as much behind as there is ahead, and the passage into a new season is about to begin. But many men have little sense of what this new season could or should entail, and we struggle knowing how to navigate it. We lack a vision for what it means to become a godly "Sage."

The manhood journey is cyclical rather than linear, and the further along we travel, we find ourselves once again at the beginning. To truly become a Sage, we must go deeper and in reverse to recover those parts of us we exiled, forgot, lost, or never fully knew. Men who successfully navigate midlife emerge with a vision for who God originally made them to be. But men who go on living their lives without an awareness of their own deep need for this intentional work simply grow old, believing their best years are behind them rather than ahead. To become a Sage is the highest calling of God on men. It is the pinnacle of manhood, and yet the vast majority of men settle for a too-small story as they pass the midlife mark. This passage into the second half is God's invitation to His bigger story.

If the task of the first passage is to find the man within the boy and call him forth, the task of the second passage is to find the boy within the man and bring him home.

Sage: A Man's Guide Into His Second Passage invites men into an intentional journey through midlife and into the Sage.

Industry Reviews

"Most people either fail to dream of being a Sage or assume it is

beyond the grasp of mere mortals. Chris Bruno, a wise, kind, and

humble man, has invited us to walk with wisdom as we return to our

younger selves, blessing the hardships and losses that have formed

us as men. Chris offers a North Star vision of how a man becomes a

Sage. You will find this brilliant book a trustworthy compass to guide

you through the wilds of aging."

--------------------------

"There are painfully few soul-strengthening messages that help the

heart of a man finish well. We live in a world with many old men, but

few sages, few men whose entire personhood is so drenched in

maturity and whole-heartedness that they are capable of guiding the

next generations to the farthest reaches of our masculine journey

with wisdom and strength. In Chris Bruno, we have such a man.

Curated with clarity and care, brimming with authentic stories of

masculine initiation, and girded by courageous self-disclosure from

Chris's own journey, Sage offers a trustworthy, God-shaped, timely

message for men who deeply desire to experience the full-portion of

masculine maturity, build an enduring legacy in the second half of

life, and finish well."
