Summary: 4 Stars
I have boys that are 15, 11, and 9. I was looking for direction on how to improve my fathering to the 15 year old, and have a better effort for the younger boys. The book does a good job of iterating out the things that important for the father-son relationship. I also love the chapter on the qualities that we should try to instill in our sons. To a tee they are the list that I would have written, and yet in today's world they are difficult to imprint to sons. While i love the Christian based perspectives and fully agree that Godliness is a part of building stronger sons, there are examples in the book (zero dating until the boy is out of high school ??) that I am not sure are the best plan. At least in those example, it fosters thinking about raising your son in a different way. In the end, the willingness to talk openly about being masculine, being a protector and a provider, and connecting on that level with your sons was a great message for me to hear.
Summary of Better Dads, Stronger Sons: How Fathers Can Guide Boys to Become Men of Character
The relationship between a father and a son is like none other. Dads have a God-given role to protect and provide for their families, always striving to teach their sons the life skills they'll need to grow into honorable men. But many dads struggle with feelings of inadequacy regarding their fathering abilities. They want to be better dads. Rick Johnson can show them how. In this insightful and practical book, Johnson shows how fathers can be equipped and inspired to be positive role models for their sons. He stresses the significance of male bonding, discipline, and spiritual leadership; discusses important topics such as sexual purity, respect, and self-discipline; and reveals the top ten mistakes to avoid as a father. From commitment and courage to honesty and humility, Better Dads, Stronger Sons helps men strive to be the dads God designed them to be--so their sons can grow to be everything they are meant to be.Fatherhood Books
