Buy the book Milestone to Manhood here (https://www.amazon.com/Milestone-Manhood-Christian-Passage-Boyhood/dp/B09XZD7BHL/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QWJND8M40NS3&keywords=milestone+manhood&qid=1661205570&sprefix=milestone+manhoo,aps,145&sr=8-1)

Visit Steven and David’s website www.milestonetomanhood.com

Milestone to Manhood shows how fathers of pre-teen boys can help their sons to successfully make the transition from boyhood to manhood. It is a father’s responsibility to bestow the title of “man” on his son, and the book outlines a once-in-a-lifetime weekend to help a father do so. The weekend involves the other male role models in the son’s life as well, like his grandfather, uncles, and older brothers, who all participate in order to make it clear to the boy that he is now considered to be a man. This coming-of-age ceremony is called his Rite of Passage. Visit www.milestonetomanhood.com for more information.
