The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character (Parenting Boys for a New Dad, Grandpa, Husband, or Dad to Be)

The book was insightful and gave lots of great and tangible ideas for connecting with my son. Read it and try its contents!

Easy and practical. Pertinent for our times. A must read for every father who wants their son to do well in this life and the one to come

Don’t miss your opportunity to nail being a great father and set your son up for success! We must do better for our sons and this is a great tool and practical example of how to do just that. Easy read and thought provoking questions.

Truly one of the best books. So grateful to have this manual as I create a path to manhood for my three sons.

This book was thoughtfully written in a way that is easy to read and from the perspective of a new father. The relatability to the author really helped me find ways to bring the knowledge and statistics from the book and find practical ways to use them for my own son. Would recommend this to all new fathers or fathers to be.

This book isn't a theology of parenting, or anything comprehensive. It's really just an argument for raising boys through their teenage in particular in a way that provides mentorship, structure, and taps into their innate sense of purpose. I think this would be a great read for someone who is looking for a theory or starting point in guiding their son into adulthood.

Man this book is awesome!! Be ready for the gut punches and be honest with yourself while reading the book. To become an intentional Father to your children and be the father God has called you to be!!

I’ve enjoyed this book and it’s been a great resource for me and other fathers I’m close to. I have passed it on as gifts as well. It gives ideas and examples as well as some challenges and choices to get you to be intentional about raising your son. Make every moment matter

I'm a youth pastor and a son. I read this book to see how it would fare as a resource for the parents of the students in my care. I think every father of a son in my group needs this book. YPs need more parents who are as intentionally invested in their sons, our ministries would thrive in such a culture.As a son, I see a number of the good things my father did commended but if he had this research and this path what a different adolescence I would have had.
