Product Description

Teenage boys in today's culture face a turbulent journey to manhood, often without an inkling of what that really means or any direction of how to get there. Authors Lee Burns and Braxton Brady, offer a vision of godly manhood and a complete and honest guide into the adventure facing young men today.

Flight Plan: Your Mission to Become a Man uses the metaphor of a journey of flight to speak candidly to pre-teen and teen boys about friendships, peer pressure, drinking, drugs, girls and dating, puberty, sex and school and family relationships. Like any sound flight plan, the book maps out the journey ahead giving practical advice for success and warnings for potential pitfalls any boy on his way to manhood is likely to encounter. The text strategically builds on seven biblically based virtues:

The True Friend
The Humble Hero
The Servant Leader
The Moral Motivator
The Bold Adventurer
The Noble Knight
The Heart Patient

Each chapter ends with questions for reflection and discussion, making Flight Plan an ideal teaching tool for boys' small groups, mentoring groups, Sunday school classes, fathers and sons, or individual study.
