How do we build our sons to be tough but not arrogant? Mannered but not soft? Imaginative but not lazy? Bold but not hollow? As they grow up, boys will encounter a staggering array of issues, and they will need to know how to face them all in a way that honours God.
In this book, Douglas Wilson gives us a Christian guide to raising strong, virtuous sons, contrary to the effeminacy and sentimentalism of contemporary culture. He begins with a call to fathers, and then addresses the importance of things such as athletics and intellectual tenacity, respecting girls, developing a robust work ethic, avoiding money traps, fighting idols and secret sin.
