Boy-Child to Manhood

By Matshavha Makgatho

Boy-Child to Manhood came about with the need to address societal issues that are facing boy-children in particular. Its aim is to share practical tools that can be implemented in raising boy-children not only by offering basic life principles, but by also using the biblical blueprint. The booklet is basically a tool to bridge the gap between a Godly character and boy-children that can be used by fathers and/or male figures in society in bettering the lives of boys. My hope for this book is that it reaches men across all board and assists them in contributing positively towards the lives of boy-children and young men who want to work on bettering themselves.

The book will also raise the issue of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and come up with possible solutions in curbing this scourge in our society.

Introduction

Boy-Child to Manhood was inspired by the urgent need to address the challenges which are faced by boys/young men in our society and also to remind men of their God-given responsibility towards raising them.
