After hearing the authors, Hal and Melanie Young, interviewed on Kevin Swanson's Generations Radio Podcast, I knew that I HAD to read this book. Why, you ask? Because I was desperate for a completely biblical, practical guide to raising boys that did not draw from any secular humanist psychological theories. You see, I used to be a secular humanist psychiatrist so I know the bad stuff when I
My son is 9 now and I was raised around a bunch of girls- 5 of them to be exact. I am the one that my son is around for teaching and training most of the day most days. With God's grace and godly advice from parents who have been there, I desire to raise my son for the glory of God.
I am very grateful that this book did not disappoint. The authors very humbly take you through principles they have learned in raising their boys (all 6 of them) for the glory of God. Filled with Scriptural principles," Raising Real Men" is a welcome addition to the standard Christian books about raising boys. Written from a homeschooling perspective, I find it much easier to relate to this book than the others.
"Raising Real Men" is a book that I will surely re-read many times in my quest to raise a real man. I am so grateful to the Young's for writing it.
Check out their very informative and encouraging blog today!

ReplyDeleteHiya.. just found your blog! :O) Thank you for mentioning this book - I will be sure to check it out. I have 3 boys and we homeschool, so it sounds ideal. I'm always eager to read books of this kind. Need all the spiritual wisdom I can get! I was raised in an all girl family so need help when it comes to knowing how to raise boys! :O)
