As I mentioned in a previous post I read the book, Raising A Modern-Day Knight by Robert Lewis.
The basic premise of the book is back in the day Knights had a very well defined process to man hood and now in our society there is no defined process for a boy to become a man. This book covers ways a father can recognize those moments of transition and make it mean something to the boy’s under his control.
It was very hard for me to read this book. Not only from what I have lost in life, but what I should also do as a father… heavy burden. A high calling.
The book mentions a few points that should be recognized. The 13th birthday, around puberty. Graduation from high school. Graduation from college, or whatever that post high school step is (boot camp, etc..). Marriage.
I would highly recommend this book to any man raising children. Christian or not, this is a great book to read.
Over the next few weeks I am going to continue to review this book chapter by chapter, bringing out my thoughts about each chapter.
