A Good Read



A few months ago, a friend of mine suggested that I read this book.  If you haven't read it, and you have a son, I would definitely recommend it.  I have been praying for my son's future wife since the day he was born..actually properly since I was pregnant!  It's never too early to pray for her and her family. 

This book offers moms great tips for boys of all ages so even if you have a teenager or son in their early 20s who is unmarried, it can be helpful.  I love the practical examples of how in our everyday lives, I can find teaching moments to show my son how to let me know he loves me and how his actions SHOW me his love.   I know it will help him in the future to love his wife and how to SHOW her his love.  Great book!!

Here is a synopsis of the book:
What Kind of Husband Will Your Son Grow Up to Be?

His is a generation of boys who have better relationships with their Game Boxes, i-Pods, televisions, and computers than they do with their families. His understanding of marriage is that it has little hope for success, witnessing a fifty percent divorce rate both inside and outside of the church. His world is one where pornography is no longer a hidden shame, but encouraged as entertainment.

Can you raise your son to one day love, lead, and protect a wife and family in a world like this?

The answer is yes. The heartbeat of this book is to give you the tools to help your son become a tender warrior who will one day fight for his family, a godly husband who will faithfully love his wife, and a leader who will be a man of his word.

The time is now to take your love, tears, prayers, and influence and pour them into his future. Even if our world does not change its moral fiber, you can influence your son and bring hope to the next generation. It’s an opportunity of a lifetime—yours
