WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MAN
Raising up men has never been easy, but today is seems particularly tough. The young and old need heroes to embody the eternal qualities of manhood: honor, duty, valor, and integrity. InThe Book of Man, William J. Bennett points the way, offering a positive, encouraging, uplifting, realizable idea of manhood, redolent of history and human nature, and practical for contemporary life.
Using profiles, stories, letters, poems, essays, historical vignettes, and myths to bring his subject to life, The Book of Man defines what a man should be, how he should live, and to what he should aspire in several key areas of life: war, work, leisure, and more. 'Whether we take up the sword, the plow, the ball, the gavel, our children, or our Bibles,' says Bennett, 'we must always do it like the men we are called to be.'The Book of Man shows how.

Real Help for the Toughest Talks
Nervous about talking to your kids about sex? Anxiety over having "the talk" often means we avoid it as long as we can. While we're waiting, our kids are getting their questions answered and their perceptions of sex and sexuality formed elsewhere--through online searches and a daily diet of mainstream and social media that may shock you.
In this immensely practical and well-researched book, Anne Marie Miller equips parents to take control of the narrative their children are receiving about sex. She shows how to have meaningful and age-appropriate conversations about sex, pornography, and sexual abuse. She also shows how to keep the lines of communication open so that your kids know they can trust you with their fears, struggles, and mistakes. Most important, she offers hope that your children can grow up with a healthy biblical view of sex as a gift from God.
"Far too many Christian parents are afraid of 'too much, too soon' when it comes to their kids knowing about sex. Unfortunately, this often means parents say too little, too late. Anne's book shatters this and other misconceptions. In our hyper-sexualized culture, 5 Things delivers a timely and critical message."--Luke Gilkerson, author of The Talk and Educational Resource Manager for Covenant Eyes
"Every parent needs to pay attention to this book."--Craig Gross, founder of iParent.tv and author of Touchy Subjects
"This book has empowered me as a mom."--Lisa Whittle, speaker and author of {w}hole and I Want God
"Read this before you think you need to, and if that time has passed, start reading now!"--Mark Matlock, president of Youth Specialties
Anne Marie Miller is the author of five books. She has been featured in numerous publications, including Cosmopolitan, Relevant Magazine, Leadership Journal, Christianity Today, and Youth Worker Journal. Miller speaks frequently at colleges, conferences, and churches in the United States and internationally. She and her husband, Tim, live in Iowa. Learn more at www.annemariemiller.com.

A Guy's Guide to Life How to Become a Man in 224 Pages or Less
$14.94 USD $14.99 USD
A Guy's Guide to Life: How to Become a Man in 224 Pages or Less is a teenage guy’s handbook to becoming a man with a healthy mind, body, and soul.
What does society want of teen guys? To be independent, tough, and macho? To be a sensitive, caring metrosexual? To excel in school and sports and business? The challenges are many, and we haven't even mentioned the most important-and most frightening-topic of conversation: girls. The road to manhood is a perilous one.
Guys need a guidebook, one that asks and answers the questions they're reluctant to discuss. They need a book that addresses the myths of manhood with a straightforward approach teenage guys will appreciate and absorb. Author Jason Boyett understands what many fail to realize—that somewhere between the awkwardness and braggadocio, the goofiness and the developing body, there is a real person struggling to make his mark on the world.
