Future Men: Raising Boys to Fight Giants: Christian Parenting for Bringing up Boys to be Strong Men of Faith

Great book full of wisdom and insight. So glad to have this book as a resource in raising our son. Now that we’ve read it I can say we would have really been missing out if we had never purchased this book.

Alert! Moms, Dads, and yes, even teachers of boys need to read this book. Anyone who has a vested interest in raising boys will find this book to be informative. Why do boys act the way they do? Here’s an excellent guide to answering that question and how to allow boys to grow into the God-designed men they are meant to be.

This is a great book on Biblical manhood. Of course raising a boy into a Biblical man has always taken a lot of thought and wisdom, but it seems like maybe even more so now than in other times because of the way that society is revolting against the very idea that God indeed did create a man and a woman with ways of glorifying God that are unique to each gender. I highly recommend this to all Christians who are raising boys.

This is a great book! I actually bought six of them to get out to some buddies since it was so good.

I have read a lot of books on parenting, and particularly on parenting boys, and this is far and away the best I've yet encountered. Wilson's counsel is both pastoral and practical, and always tinged with his typical witty prose.His approach is very different from many other parenting books, mainly because he starts from a different perspective. Rather than beginning with the various challenges associated with bringing up boys, he challenges parents (and especially fathers) to give consideration to the type of men we want our boys to become. In every circumstance, he encourages us to think about how best to prepare our boys for mature manhood. This often results in a very different approach from what society typically advocates, in everything from discipline to roughhousing to education.If you have (or may ever have) a son or grandson, this is a very worthwhile book to have available as a reference (I expect to revisit it frequently as my son grows older and enters new stages of life). It would also be a great read for school teachers, as there is much that pertains to nurturing masculinity in the classroom.

Great read for thinking through raising a boy and a great reminder as to what my own man-ness should take the shape of. Highly recommended.

Blunt!!!! Love it. This is a terrific guideline for all parents. Not a Christian thing it is a life matter!!!!

Great book
