Description
The Road Back to God: A Modern Man’s Journey from Darkness to Light
In an age of unprecedented religious interest among men, Joe Barnard provides a compelling roadmap for those curious about Christianity but unsure where to begin. This thoughtful guide meets men where they are—often trapped in materialistic thinking and spiritual numbness—and leads them step–by–step toward authentic faith.
Unlike typical religious texts, The Road Back to God doesn’t just provide information; it offers transformation. Barnard masterfully addresses the unique challenges modern men face, from intellectual skepticism to moral uncertainty, while guiding readers through ten crucial milestones on the path to faith. Through clear prose and relatable examples, he helps men navigate questions of meaning, purpose, and spiritual truth.
Whether you’re a skeptic intrigued by Christianity’s resurgence, a seeker looking for answers, or someone simply dissatisfied with modern materialism, this book offers a fresh perspective on ancient wisdom. Barnard doesn’t shy away from difficult topics like sin, holiness, and the cross, but presents them in ways that resonate with contemporary minds.
This is more than a book about religion—it’s a guide to rediscovering what it means to be fully human in a fragmented world.

In this refreshing, well researched, mind-stretching study, Joe Barnard challenges men to ask the bigger questions of life, have the courage to analyse their own hearts, and embark on a life shaping journey, via Plato’s cave, to Jesus Christ. Highly recommended.

… this book will dare you to wrestle with ancient wisdom; to step out on the road of faith and holiness; and to come have a closer look at the person of Jesus Christ.

... an excellent introduction to the gospel and a real challenge to men. It is an unusually helpful evangelistic book – and a lovely refresher for those who are already Christians.

... a more incisive view of our lethargic unease, offering the good news of Jesus and the intellectual world of Scripture as a way to see ourselves and the universe more truly.
