recommends it for: fathers
If you need a guide to raise your boys to be the men that God designed them to be, this is a must read.
Robert Lewis's Mens Faternity study uses this book as a reference in some of the teaching.

After my husband read this and gleaned some great information on bringing boys into Christian manhood, I read it and loved it. If you have boys- read this!
