A Mom's Guide to Raising Godly Men

But how do you nurture your wild and wonderful boys into godly men of strength, purpose, and character--especially in today's world?
Fellow "boy mom" in the trenches Molly DeFrank understands this challenge--and she's here to help. With hope and humor, she reveals the eight most critical things your son needs right now. This go-to guide is packed with simple and fun activities to help you
· connect with your son in ways that matter most
· build his character with biblical truths
· equip him to flourish in today's culture
· lay a solid foundation while keeping life fun
With God's help (and a lot of humor) you can raise Davids and Daniels in a world of giants and lions--one carpool, dinner, and bedtime tuck-in at a time.
