Publisher's Synopsis
This is a training manual for building boys into strong men. There is a five step format used for teaching; the principle, the precept, processing the principle, possessing the principle and practicing the principle. Principles one through five describe how a man should think. Principles six through eight describe how a man should conduct himself with others. Principles nine through twelve describe self examination and appreciation. These principles are simple, yet profound and are essential in building boys to men.I learned these principles from watching the men in my life -- my father, my grandfather, and my uncles. These principles were so pronounced in how they lived their lives that it was easy for me to see them and write them down. I wrote these principles initially for adult men in a court residential treatment center. I was challenged tp write a curriculum that would teach adults how to become men. Eighty percent of these adults came from homes without men. As I shared the knowledge and wisdom that I learned from the men in my life, those adults who embraced the principles eventually became men. Every boy will benefit from learning and practicing these principles.
