Fathers, are you looking for a way to prepare your sons for leadership in their homes and churches? Would you like to find a way to do so effectively? You should then consider this book by Douglas Bond, author of the Mr. Pipes series and several other books. He has written this book to help fathers disciple their sons, to train them into Christian manhood. It is designed for fathers to work with the young men in their family. Each chapter includes Scripture reading, discussion questions, Bible memory, and other useful tools for dads and sons to use together. Rather than encouraging lectures by fathers, its purpose is to facilitate dialogue between dads and their sons as they discuss the serious issues of life. This book is appropriate for young men in high school and older. (Presbyterian and Reformed)
