· packed with simple, practical, easy-to-implement--and fun!--ideas and activities to help you raise godly sons in a rapidly changing world
· research-based tips that steer away from shame-based motivators toward more productive techniques

Boys today are surrounded by accusations that their very existence is toxic, told that their biological makeup is a problem and that the future is female. As Christian moms, we have the responsibility and privilege of teaching our boys what is true about who they are and what isn't. But how do we grow these tiny (and somewhat smelly) wild things into godly men of character?
With encouragement, hope, and a dash of humor, popular writer and fellow mom-in-the-trenches Molly DeFrank reveals the eight most critical things your son needs right now. Rooted in biblical truth, real parenting stories, and current research, this go-to guide is packed with simple, practical, easy-to-implement--and fun!--ideas and activities to help you
· create meaningful connection with your son
· cultivate his character
· equip him to flourish right where he is
· give him a solid foundation in an ever-shifting culture
In a world of giants and lions, you can raise up the next generation of Davids and Daniels. And you can do it while driving carpool, folding mountains of laundry, building model sets, eating dinner, and tucking them in for the night.
