Parents do their best to equip their sons with all they need to succeed: nutrition, tuition, transportation, lectures, and love, all liberally supplied. Surely this is sufficient for young men to prosper.

Or is it?

Brian D. Molitor contends that boys and young men must be guided into manhood by design rather than default---without guidance, a boy's transition from childhood to manhood is dangerous and confusing. In this celebratory and hopeful book, he shares how he implemented the principles of lifelong mentoring, intentional blessing, and rites of passage in the lives of his own sons and how you can do the same for yours. He offers creative suggestions on how you can use these principles to design and implement a positive plan for your son's development so he'll become the man God created him to be. In Boy's Passage - Man's Journey, Molitor shares:

How to lead your son into manhood by design rather than by default

How you can counteract the hurts and disappointments every boy experiences

How rites of passage, lifelong mentoring, and intentional blessing can prevent teen rebellion and provide a true sense of identity for your children

Encouragement and suggestions for single mothers, grandparents, youth pastors, men's ministry leaders, and others who care about the next generation

Thoughtful, sensitive, and compassionate, Boy's Passage - Man's Journey addresses the widespread neglect in the training of today's youth and offers creative solutions.
