Entering Unexplored Territory

My oldest is almost a teenager and his brother is not far behind him.

Thus, the idea of unexplored territory.


I'm a girl, which means there is alot about boys I don't know or understand.

I have come to be aware of this as my boys are growing up and sometimes I shake my head in confusion.
How do boys work?


I recently bought this book and have since read it once and skimmed it back over a second time.


It's written by a Christian man.

So to get a man's perspective and ideas on how Mom's can influence their sons to become Godly men, was nice.

I recommend this book to all Mom's with boys. Rick Johnson does a good job of being honest and informative about what makes boys tick.


A couple of my favorite quotes:


--"A parent's main task is to receive a child as a charge from the Lord and then to dedicate the child to God's ways."


--"Manhood and Fatherhood are learned behaviors. Boys are visual creatures and learn by observing."


--"The only thing a man has that can't be taken from him is his character."


--" Your son needs the courage to continue to do what is right even when all those around him are calling for him to compromise."


Proverbs 1:8- My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother.
