Jason M. Craig. Leaving Boyhood Behind

Отрывок из книги

“A man once went to the doctor and complained that when he pressed upon his leg with his finger, it hurt, when he pressed on his arm, it hurt, and when he pressed upon his head, it hurt. The man exclaimed to the doctor that it just hurt everywhere. The doctor informed him, after tests came back, that he had a broken finger. Like the man with the broken finger, everything will hurt if the source of pain is not identified and dealt with. Jason Craig is revealing the source of brokenness, pain and dysfunction among our men today.

“In order for men to be healthy leaders who can protect, provide for, and lead their families, there must be a plan to grow up and act like mature men, not boys who are still playing with toys while their lives and their families remain directionless. Craig is insightful in pointing out the genesis of our problem, and he offers a compelling plan that I believe will powerfully impact the Church. Saint Paul said, ‘When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways’ (1 Cor 13:11). If you are interested in giving up childish ways and becoming a man, this book is a must read.”

“How do boys become men? We have come to the growing realization that we have an urgent crisis of masculinity in our society. Jason Craig has been at the forefront of getting to the bottom of this crisis and proposing practical solutions, rooted in the father-son relationship. Our future depends greatly on how we raise up the next generation of leaders. Craig gives us guidance on the work of forming our sons, and in the process inspires us to become better men.”
