| Description |
How does a boy grow into a real man - a Godly man?
Where does he get manly character, vision, and conviction?
Who confers on him the title and responsibilities of manhood? What is the role of his father in the transition from boyhood to manhood, and how important is it?
Beginning with a Biblical perspective of manhood, and borrowing ideas from the medieval practice of knighthood, author-pastor Robert Lewis shares with dads about raising their sons successfully to manhood.
The
medieval custom of knighthood offered a unique approach to shaping boys into strong men of character and heart. Boys were selected and sent through a
rigorous, multi-year process of clearly defined objectives, goals, and
ceremonies -- with the goal of achieving knighthood.
Growing up with an absent father himself, Robert Lewis has discovered from knighthood three essential elements to transitioning sons from boys to men: a Godly masculine VISION, an uncompromising CODE of CONDUCT,
and a noble CAUSE in which to invest their lives. He elaborates in much detail on each of these three areas in the book.
Raising A Modern Day Knight is a great help in transitioning your son from boyhood to manhood, and it includes ceremony ideas to celebrate your son's accomplishments and encourage him.
