Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-25 00:00:00 Faiz Rehman I really enjoyed the messages in this book on raising boys, specifically: - Create a vision for your sons - communicate it with them for what a man should grow up to be. - Time is most important thing in raising boys. Don't worry about the activity, just spending time and modeling the right behaviors. - Talk about the tough things - girls, sex, how to behave like a man. Start the conversations early, and boys will be comfortable discussing. - Be the role model 24/7. Everything one does is being watched by boys. How we treat mom is especially important. - Be a life-learner. Model reading and encourage it. Combine books with other gifts. If gifting sporting gear, combine a book on a famous player. - Include fiction and non-fiction. - Seek out movies and books with great role models. (End of book has list of recommendations) While the book was extremely religious, there was nothing in it that I disagreed with, even though I am not very religious. Overall, this was a great book with lots of great reminders and nudges for being a great, impactful dad and raising respectful, men of character.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-23 00:00:00 Edward Nunez It's difficult for a book in this Genre to break outside of a 3-star rating. For the most part this is because I have read several similar books and most of the material presented is common sense. That being said, I would still recommend the book because it's a fairly easy read and brings to the forefront some topics or considerations that might otherwise be dormant on our minds. The lack of good fathers is an absolute threat to our society and the author is keenly aware of that. It was worth the read and gave me some good things to think about.
