A proven plan to raise sons of integrity, faith, and consequence
Dads today are often overwhelmed with both the responsibility and the complexity of raising sons in this challenging culture. At the same time 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.
The Intentional Father is a helpful antidote, 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
● intentional steps to take as you prepare and plan for your son's initiation into manhood
● principles to guide you through each step: preparation, initiation, formation, and recognition
● questions to reflect on throughout the process
● stats, charts, and data visualizations based on research among fathers across America
It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows new dads and fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors how to lead the way.

Every Father Should Read
Such deep and practical wisdom throughout! Very well written
A wonderful book on intrafamilial discipleship
I thought this was a very insightful book, very imaginative, and very inspiring. I feel incredibly motivated to take charge of my son‘s upbringing in a different way, and I don’t know that I would’ve come to some of the conclusions I’ve come to without this book. If you’re a Christian father, Looking to build a Christian man out of your boy, I think this book is a great place to start.
Great book for a father to help realize his children need him
A good book that establishes the need to plan and workout steps to help your children to move from adolescence to adulthood. It also helps to restore fathers who failed to start anew
