My Thoughts on This Book:

 

No matter how old your son is, this is an excellent book to help you understand the 'boy' in your son. Having two growing boys in my house, I love reading books that will help me understand the males that live under my roof. They handle emotion, tension, stress, much differently than females. With this Christ centered book, you will begin to understand the dynamics of your son's brain, and help your son become the best man he can be.. Great book!
