In his no-nonsense style, Steve Farrar delivers a great book that fits in nicely with the genre of "raising sons to be Godly men" books. Whereas others focus primarily on the vision of Biblical manhood (like RaMDK), Steve focuses this book on the nuts and bolts of the process.
While he does not provide a step-by-step "do this at this age" game plan, he does deal head on with many of the issues you will face over and over again as you work to raise your son. Using kings of the Old Testament as a backdrop, he examines the critical role a father plays in preparing his son to become a godly man.
Especially needful for us post-modern dads is his treatment (2 chapters worth) of the whys and hows of discipline. If you ever worry that you are bruising your son's self esteem or "scarring him for life" when you enforce boundaries, read Steve's thoughts for a swift boot in the rear.
Overall a great book with sage advice that will help you to build your son into the man God wants him to be.
