This is a must read for dads who are raising boys to become men of conviction in a crazy world adrift in confusion about values. I have raised three sons myself, so I always appreciate other men who are as committed to being a great active father figure. Tommy and Curt have provided an amazing and practical handbook for dads raising sons. I love the short chapters and the "street smart"! In a world trying to drown out the voices of fathers, this is a great handbook for fathering.
