About this ebook
Sensible advice and caring encouragement on raising boys from the nation’s most trusted parenting authority, Dr. James Dobson.
With so much confusion about the role of men in our society, it’s no wonder so many parents and teachers are asking questions about how to bring up boys. Why are so many boys in crisis? What qualities should we be trying to instill in young males? Our culture has vilified masculinity. As a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man.
In the runaway bestseller Bringing Up Boys, Dr. Dobson draws from his experience as a child psychologist and family counselor, as well as extensive research, to offer advice and encouragement based on a firm foundation of biblical principles. He addresses common questions parents ask when guiding boys into manhood, such as:

I have read "Dare to Disciple" and "The Strong-Willed Child" and I knew "Bringing up Boys" would be a life-changing perspective I could apply to raising my son! I respect him immensely, and that is because of both his in-depth understanding of the way the world and families work, and his invaluable gift for explaining and highlighting his wisdoms in a way that is really able to touch lives and connect the dots in a biblical and non-judgemental way.
