Raising a Modern-Day Knight
By Robert Lewis

It seems that we are living in the day of Neverland. In a time where boys never grow up, even though they may age, they seem to never grow up into adulthood. Those few who seem to step into manhood often flounder in the uncertainty of what manhood is and how it is to be lived out. "Raising a Modern-Day Knight" lays out the need for a "Father's role in guiding his son to authentic manhood".

Playing off the image of Knighthood, Lewis encourages fathers to begin guiding their young sons into manhood through encouragement, model, and concreting achievements in manhood through ceremonies. He highlights the importance and need of the father's role in guiding his son into authentic manhood. Lewis uses the image of Knighthood; chivalry, cause, code of conduct, a vision for manhood, and process. A young man would begin under a knight serving and learning from him as a page, then to a squire, and then to Knighthood. All of which is surrounded by Biblical references and a Biblical definition of manhood.

This book is not another be wild, "you're programmed to be like x", to be a man. It genuinely deals with each man and the gifts God has given him and teaches them to be a Biblical authentic man in it.

I highly encourage ALL fathers to read this book, those who hope to be, and even those who may be floundering even now.
