Raising a Modern-Day Knight: A Father’s Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood (Focus on the Family)
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.
