How John Became a Man: The Life Story of a Motherless Boy is a book written by Isabel C. Byrum. The book tells the story of John, a boy who lost his mother at a young age and had to navigate the challenges of growing up without her. The story takes readers through John's journey as he learns to cope with his loss and find his place in the world. Along the way, John faces many obstacles, but he perseveres and ultimately becomes a strong and independent young man. The book is a touching and inspiring tale of resilience, courage, and the power of love and family. It is a must-read for anyone who has experienced loss or struggled to find their way in life.1917. In presenting this little volume, the author hopes that it may be useful in suggesting to the minds of young boys the great wrong there is in indulging evil habits. We read, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, and this is true concerning most boys who form habits that are harmful both to body and soul. The story of John's life is a true one; and his earnest prayer that it may be the means of helping some boys from Satan's snares and prove a blessing to them, I trust, will be answered.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
