The relationship between a father and a son is like none other. Dads have a God-given role to protect and provide for their families, always striving to teach their sons the life skills they'll need to grow into honorable men. But many dads struggle with feelings of inadequacy regarding their fathering abilities. They want to be better dads. Rick Johnson can show them how. In this insightful and practical book, Johnson shows how fathers can be equipped and inspired to be positive role models for their sons. He stresses the significance of male bonding, discipline, and spiritual leadership; discusses important topics such as sexual purity, respect, and self-discipline; and reveals the top ten mistakes to avoid as a father. From commitment and courage to honesty and humility, Better Dads, Stronger Sons helps men strive to be the dads God designed them to be--so their sons can grow to be everything they are meant to be.

Self-initiation is killing our young men. Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It's no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves. The Intentional Father is the antidote. This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence--young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family. It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows how fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors can lead the way.

It has been said that children do not come to us with an instruction manual. While this may be true, I do believe that they come with instructions hardwired into their DNA. As parents, it is our responsibility to use the gift of parenting to monitor and perceive these instructions, and put our children in the right environments to mature them. And if we pay close attention, there will be subtle advice shared along the way. "I've long since retired and my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day. I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind. He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time. You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu. But it's sure nice talking to you, dad . It's been sure nice talking to you. And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me . He'd grown up just like me. My boy was just like me" Sandy Chapin / Harry F. Chapin I had heard this song so many times, but it was not until I had a son that it held meaning for me. In raising my son, not only did I have to make sure that he became his own man, but I also realized that I needed to model the type of man and ultimately the type of father, I wanted him to become. This song served as a warning. "The Get Out Date" therefore was not as much about putting my son out, as it was preparing him to be successful once he left.
