Raising a Modern-Day Knight, Updated and Expanded: A Father's Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781589978003)

What does it mean to be a man?

Moreover, how do you as a Christian father instill that reality in your son? By raising a modern-day knight.

The medieval custom of knighthood offers a unique approach to shaping and parenting a boy into a strong, godly man. Centuries ago, select boys and young men went through a rigorous, years-long process of clearly defined objectives, goals, and ceremonies―with the hope of achieving knighthood. Along the way, they acquired:

• A boldly masculine vision
• An uncompromising code of conduct
• A noble cause in which to invest their lives

They were the heroes of their age and role models we can learn from.

In much the same way, pastor and dad of four Robert Lewis will show how you, too, can confidently guide your son to the kind of authentic, biblical manhood that can change our world. Complete with ceremony ideas to celebrate accomplishments and ingrain them in the mind of a knight-in-training, this Christian parenting resource is as insightful as it is practical in raising boys to be chivalrous, honorable men.

Previous editions have sold more than 250,000 copies! In this newly updated and expanded edition, Lewis has added a chapter for grandfathers on how they can bless and help in the raising of their grandchildren, and a new chapter encouraging men helped by this book to mentor others.
