As the father of a boy nearing the teenage years, what should you be doing NOW so your son is ready for what is coming next? How do you help him when he is 13 or 14 years old to ensure that he understands what it means to be a godly man? How can you help him find the "on ramp" for the road to manhood? All you need is a plan. That's what this study provides-a plan for guiding a young boy as he begins the journey to being a man. It outlines two bookend events you can plan for your son-"The Trip" and the "Council of Men"-that will help him on his way to being the man God planned for him to be.
