Boy, It's a Circus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781584272434)

I am concerned for my son. I am concerned for my brother, and his son. I am concerned for the vast number of boys who will set their eyes on manhood in the next decade. Our society mocks manliness. It encourages Bart Simpson to become his father Homer. Adding to this is the natural difficulty of growing up, going from boyhood to manhood. This change can be chaotic, crazy, a circus-thus the title. Parents who are eager to help their sons navigate these years are sometimes at a loss to know where to start. Boy It's a Circus is a tool for these parents and their sons. This book is designed to give fathers a place to start a dialog with their sons about manhood. Questions at the end of each lesson reiterate the points made in the reading, and can be a good place to start talking. I have tried to arrange the subjects in a logical progression-from a general to a specific. Lesson one is about manhood in general. Every lesson to follow then is on some specific facet of being a man. Then, since Christ ought to be first in our lives, becoming a Christian ought to be discussed as the first specific subject of being a man. Some lessons go together, and these also follow the general to specific formula. Lessons three and four go together, how to treat other people and then specifically friends. Lessons five and six likewise go together, dealing with anger
