Synopsis

Major League Baseball players never start a new season without spring training. Neither should boys. Yet most boys start their adult lives as men without a day of training on manhood. Boys need mentoring more than ever today to become men of character, faith and self-control. They need training to build character qualities like commitment, responsibility, integrity and service. They need caring men and fathers that will invest their time and effort to coach and mentor them into manhood. Throughout time and throughout all cultures on earth, rites of passage have transformed boys into men through training and ritual. Post-modern culture no longer offers this vital training. Boys are on their own today, and millions of them are drifting south toward a shipwreck in their lives, relationships and future marriages. Boys are falling behind girls in all education levels. They numb their pain inside with addictions to alcohol, drugs, porn and sex. And with fatherlessness at epidemic levels, boys of every race and social level are desperate for belonging and guidance with older men. The Crossing Rite of Passage gives boys the training, coaching and belonging they need from caring men in their lives. The book offers a complete spring training for manhood. The Mentor’s Manual equips a Mentor Team of caring fathers and men with everything they need to build their boys into great Christian men. Each Mentor needs a copy of this Mentor’s Manual along with the companion copy of the Young Men’s Manual for each boy. Both manuals include; A History of Male Rites of Passage, Six Mentor Lessons in Manhood, A Code of Honor, Good Deed Project, Knowing the Christian Faith, Outdoor Adventure Challenge, Initiation into Manhood Fire Ceremony, and much more. Like the Jewish Bar Mitzvah, the ages of the boys can start at thirteen, but the training applies to all boys up to seventeen. All boys need this Rite of Passage before they graduate from high school. Invite some other men and fathers to get a group of boys together of the same ages. If you feel unprepared to be a Mentor, don’t worry. The Mentor’s Manual has three structured lessons just for the Mentor Team to equip themselves before training the boys. Both the men and the boys will grow in their faith and character from their training. Manhood is every boy’s destiny. The Crossing Rite of Passage will set boys on course to arrive there.
