Future Men: Raising Boys to Fight Giants

Written by Douglas Wilson

Narrated by Toby J. Sumpter

When Theodore Roosevelt taught Sunday school for a time, a boy showed up one Sunday with a black eye. He admitted he had been fighting and on the Lord's Day, too. He told the future president that a bigger boy had been pinching his sister, and so he fought him. TR told him that he had done perfectly right and gave him a dollar. The stodgy vestrymen thought this was a bit much, and so they let their exuberant Sunday school teacher go. What a loss.

In this book, Douglas Wilson discusses how parents can help their sons cultivate true masculinity and become men who are strong and self-sacrificial, just as Christ was. This book is a part of Douglas Wilson's series of books on the family, which has helped many people trying to deal with the on the everyday messes that come with sinners trying to live under the same roof. This book on raising sons covers issues such as laziness, Christian liberty, school, sports, girls, and proper contempt for the cool.

Reviews for Future Men

[Lauren · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A solid book on Biblical masculinity. I’m grateful for the way that it encouraged and inspired me.

[Eric Turner · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Some good stuff & some absolute nonsense. I generally like Rev Wilson, but his reasoning on more than a few things is just downright foolish.

[Jessica Graham · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Sound, Biblical advice for raising future men. Great for dads but also important wisdom for moms, couldn’t recommend higher.
