Publisher Description
Self-initiation is killing our young men. Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It's no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves.
The Intentional Father is the antidote. This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence--young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family.
It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows how fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors can lead the way.

God trap
This is a book for christians. Nothing in the title or synopsis mentions it, but it is deeply biased towards a christian upbringing.
When I started reading I was shocked, but thought there might be suggestions that could be applied to any father, but frankly the constant references to christian beliefs and god put me right off reading any further.
If you ARE a christian, you’ll prob love this book, if not, good luck looking past this bias.
