About the Author

Michael Swain

Michael Swain is an experienced public speaker, mentor and leader who has spent over four decades working with individuals and communities navigating leadership, responsibility, faith and public life.

He has lived on three continents, visited 33 countries, and co-founded a Christian ministry now operating in over 80 nations. He currently leads a human-rights legal advocacy organisation.

Father Codes is written from conviction rather than for a constituency — shaped by biblical principles, but framed for a broad, plural readership that does not require shared belief to benefit from its wisdom.

The Book

Timeless Wisdom for
Life, Leadership & Love

Father Codes is a cross-generational guide for young adults navigating life without consistent paternal guidance — and for older generations seeking language and structure to pass on what they have learned.

Practical without being formulaic. Principled without being partisan. Serious without being heavy-handed.

Identity, purpose, values and the inner framework for a meaningful life.

Part Three

Vocation, integrity, discipline and the dangers of status-driven success.
Part Four
