Book recommendation for raising boys

J

Jan 111 min read

Just finished Raising Godly Tomatoes by Larry Christenson and wanted to throw it out there. It's about being intentional about discipleship with your sons. Made me think differently about what I'm actually modeling for my boys just by how I treat my wife and handle conflict. Worth the read if you're looking for something practical and biblical.

Is this the one with a ton of religious focus or does it get into actual parenting tactics too? I'm always wary of parenting books that are 80% philosophy and 20% actual advice.

The title made me laugh but honestly the best parenting advice I ever got came from unexpected places. How's the writing style? Is it dense or pretty readable?

Saving this recommendation. I've got two boys aged 7 and 9 and I feel like I'm making a lot of this up as I go. I want to be intentional about it without being heavy handed, you know?

I've seen this recommended in our church community group too. A few dads said it resonated with them. What's your biggest takeaway from it so far?
