About
When I became a father, I knew what I was up against. In a culture of low standards, I was aware that I couldn’t rely on the media or society to instill in my sons the kind of character that makes one a good man, the kind of man any mother would be proud to see her daughter marry. Instead, I would have to rely on what I learned about responsibility and integrity—and I would deliberately teach my children everything they’d need in order to grow up to be good men.
A Good Man Defined distills wisdom into a no-nonsense guide to raising sons with strong moral values. It also provides clear indicators of character that women and girls should look for in men. Single mothers especially will benefit from its insight into the particular obstacles our society presents to boys and will be encouragement to discuss these challenges openly with their children.
Gleaned from musings on sermons, Bible passages, conversations, and my own life, this book will empower you to tackle the tough stuff that boys face and guide your own children on the path of integrity, respect, and care for others.
