The author of Boyhood and Beyond now brings us Created for Work, a collection of tales that give us examples of the work that needs to be done, whether boy or man. All the stories are taken from real life and showcase a different trait (postitive or negative!) such as confidence, plodding, and keeping your word, among many other lessons. Each chapter has study questions at the end, making it perfect for a father-son or group discussion. 181 pages, softcover.

Here are three books I recommend for advice and wisdom on boys becoming men.
In Practical Happiness, Bob Schultz employs short captivating stories crafted to guide young men toward a life of contentment, to illustrate that happiness is not found merely in what they have, where they go, or what exciting thing they can afford to do next, but rather in their attitude and response to life. Each chapter addresses questions: What is success? How do I handle personal failure? How should I respond when others let me down? Can I find happiness in a world full of sorrow and uncertainty? Practical Happiness will draw young men closer to a life of personal fulfillment as they draw closer to God.
Boyhood and Beyond is a powerful guide to good behavior and godly character. Bob’s clear story illustrations will help your boys glean wisdom and common sense from each of the short chapters. Topics such as authority, inventiveness, and honesty are covered, along with meaty issues such as overcoming fear, laziness, and temptation. He even teaches boys how to do the seemingly impossible: how to love and protect their sisters!
Created for Work is a warm-hearted guide filled with stories from real life, to teach young men what it means to be good honest workers. Chapters teach the importance of following directions, thinking creatively, respecting authority, handling money, happily completing tasks in a timely manner, and much more.
Include discussion questions. For ages 10 and up. Approx. 180–225 pages each, softcovers from Great Expectations.
