Ten 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.
