I just started this book. As a Christian, husband, father, policemen, and army veteran, I am tasked to raising the next generation; my son. I am not even done with the first chapter and I can already relate to some of the values that was bestowed upon me from my time as a soldier. Code of conduct, values, and core beliefs. I think that this book will do well to assist me in raising my son to not only be a man, but a good man.

Excellent read. Not only easily transferable principles, but also provides the framework for practical application. If you cannot clearly and concisely define this one question, then buy the book now: "At what point does a boy become a man?"

Get it. Read it. Use it. Read it again. Buy 10 copies and give them to any dad you know. It's that good!
