Plot

On his oldest son's thirteenth birthday, Brian Molitor created a celebration designed to mark the beginning of Christopher's transition from boyhood into manhood: a rite of passage with a spiritual and moral emphasis desperately needed by young people today. This book calls adults to take on the role of mentor in the lives of young men and teaches them how to create similar rites of passage. Poignant and practical, this book offers sound teaching on the needs of young men today, clearly shows how the author became more deeply involved in his son's journey, and provides helpful tips to parents who want to plan their own sons' meaningful rites of passage.
