About this ebook

What does it mean to be a man? Moreover, how do you as a father instill that reality in your son? By Raising a Modern-Day Knight.

The medieval custom of knighthood offers a unique approach to shaping a boy into a strong, godly man. Centuries ago, select boys went through a rigorous, years-long process of clearly defined objectives, goals, and ceremonies—with the hope of achieving knighthood. Along the way, they acquired a boldly masculine vision, an uncompromising code of conduct, and a noble cause in which to invest their lives. They were the heroes of their age.

In much the same way, Raising a Modern-Day Knight will show how you, too, can confidently guide your son to the kind of authentic, biblical manhood that can change out world. Complete with ceremony ideas to celebrate accomplishments and ingrain them in the mind of a knight-in-training, this resource is as insightful as it is practical in raising a boy to be a chivalrous, godly man.

Ratings and reviews

I just started this book. As a Christian, husband, father, policemen, and army veteran, I am tasked to raising the next generation; my son. I am not even done with the first chapter and I can already relate to some of the values that was bestowed upon me from my time as a soldier. Code of conduct, values, and core beliefs. I think that this book will do well to assist me in raising my son to not only be a man, but a good man.

Excellent read. Not only easily transferable principles, but also provides the framework for practical application. If you cannot clearly and concisely define this one question, then buy the book now: "At what point does a boy become a man?"

Get it. Read it. Use it. Read it again. Buy 10 copies and give them to any dad you know. It's that good!
