$14.39$15.95
When Theodore Roosevelt taught Sunday school for a time, a boy showed up one Sunday with a black eye. He admitted he had been fighting and on the Lord’s Day, too. He told the future president that a bigger boy had been pinching his sister, and so he fought him. TR told him that he had done perfectly right and gave him a dollar. The stodgy vestrymen thought this was a bit much, and so they let their exuberant Sunday school teacher go. What a loss.
In this book, Douglas Wilson discusses how parents can help their sons cultivate true masculinity and become men who are strong and self-sacrificial, just as Christ was. This book is a part of Douglas Wilson’s series of books on the family, which has helped many people trying to deal with the everyday messes that come with sinners trying to live under the same roof. This book on raising sons covers issues such as laziness, Christian liberty, school, sports, girls, and proper contempt for the cool.

What Readers Are Saying:
“This book has not only helped me consider my duties as a father to my son, but helped me consider how I’ve been discipled and capitulated to the idols of the day. A great read full of needed repentance and resolve toward holiness. Chapters may be short, but the time spent in them should be exhaustive. If we keep up with “boys will be boys,” then we will have no men. Should be a free resource given by churches all over.” — Evan Salibi
“For boy moms, this is a very helpful read. Loaded with scripture, and he discusses topics that seem weighty and confusing to me. I’ve dog-eared a lot of the pages and chapters for me to return to as my sons grow older.” -Tracy
“Ironically, this is one for the girls. What I mean by that is that these are provocative essays which serve to remind me that, as a mother, I really only grasp part of the picture of what it means to be a man.” -Noel
“As a mom to a boy, this has been one of the most helpful parenting books I’ve read so far.” -Leslie
“This is the best book I have ever read about raising boys.” -Derrick

Knights in Training (Heather Haupt)
$15.99Ten Principles for Raising Honorable, Courageous, and Compassionate Boys
Bringing chivalry back into our modern-day world, this book shows us how to inspire today’s generation of young boys to pursue honor, courage, and compassion.
In an age when respect and honor seem like distant and antiquated relics, how can we equip boys to pursue valor and courageously put the needs of others before their own? This book helps parents to inspire their boys by captivating their imagination and honoring their love for adventure.
Heather Haupt explores how knights historically lived out various aspects of the knights’ Code of Chivalry, as depicted in the French epic Song of Roland, and how boys can embody these same ideals now. When we issue the challenge and give boys the reasons why it is worth pursuing, we step forward on an incredible journey towards raising the kind of boys who, just like the knights of old, make an impact in their world now and for the rest of their lives.

Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching, and Appreciating Boys (Hal & Melanie Young)
$12.50“Six boys!” folks say in mock horror, “Well, better you than me.” We answer them cheerfully – we love our boys and they’re a gift from God…a reward. Privately, though, we admit to ourselves it’s not always rosy. Teenage boys put away a startling amount of groceries. Young boys can be downright destructive. They’re noisy, unconcerned with personal hygiene, and the dog has a longer attention span – or so it seems, some days.
If this is God’s chosen gift to us, why is so much about it so hard? How can we prepare these boys to serve God when we can barely make it through the day? Isn’t there a better way? Yes —
Raising Real Men looks beyond the untied shoes and dirty jeans to what the Lord means your son to be. Learn how to help him focus on schoolwork, find real heroes, stand alone when he needs to, and become a real man one day. Don t just survive raising boys, succeed at it and learn how to love them as they really are.
