Book Review: Six Ways to Keep the "Good" in Your Boy, by: Dannah Gresh

I have 2 boys and 1 girl.  I can tell you two things about this: First, boys and girls are different.  Second, despite being raised in the same household, boys need different parenting than girls (and vice versa). 

"It's perhaps no surprise that today's media, retail, and fashio industries press girls to grow up too fast, but what about the boys?  Remarkably, the exact opposite is true.  In a culture that often churchs out selfish, emasculated, irresponsible men, boys are encouraged to live in a perpetual state of childhood, often too busy playing Call of Duty to actually follow a real life call of duty.  How can parents - specifically moms - help their sons successfully transition to true manhood?"

In Six Ways to Keep the "Good" in Your Boy, Dannah Gresh will show:

• Six ways to keep the "good" in your boy
• How to protect your son from the porn trap
• How to celebrate your son's entrance into manhood
• How to unplug him from a plugged in world
• How to be a connecting mom
• The importance of godly men in your son's life

If you are interested in purchasing this great resource you can by visiting Dannah Gresh's website.  Currently, the book is only $13.


I received free copy of this book from Side Door Communications, but opinions expressed are 100% mine.

*Mother's Day Idea* Sterling Silver Earrings as low as 1¢+$6.95 s/h = Total $6.96 each on Amazon

One of Amazon's secrets is that while prices may be lower than local stores shipping can be as high as $7 or more per item!  One of My Memphis Mommy's goals is to find items on Amazon that are so CHEAP that paying high shipping costs is STILL worth it!  **It is important to note that Amazon tends to change prices through out the day, so these prices are not guarenteed. 

Here are Sterling Silver earrings you can get from Amazon for 1¢ + $6.95 s/h = Total $6.96 each
