Douglas Bond has written the book that many dads will wish their father had read with them, and that they will be so thankful to have for prayerful discussion with their own sons now. Bond is a worthy heir of Solomon, that father who so earnestly instructed his son, and called the son to store up his commands within him. Fathers, get this book, sit down with your son, pray, and get started. Your son will understand the engaging language and powerful illustrations; you will be thanking God for the help in talking about so many topics you know will benefit your son as he reaches for manhood. Very edifying; dont miss out on this! -- Rev. Paul Walker, PCA pastor and hospital chaplain (retired), Vancouver, BC
