Book excerpt: Christina Hunter's oldest daughter and a basketball star, Sabria Hunter answered her call to report to West Point Military Academy to become an officer in the US Army and play Division 1 basketball in the summer of 2019. Following this experience, Christina, whom the readers will come to know as Tina, felt urged to write a book. Being hard-pressed as a working mom of six, she never thought this could ever be possible, so she pushed off the idea. The urge came again, and she told God she was willing to write the book but wanted a solid sign to make sure it was him that was asking her to take on this feat. It was on a random trip to Barnes and Noble that a miracle took place. As she was found leafing through a book, Tina was approached by a complete stranger who, she came to find out, was an author himself, who began asking her about her life and told her she needed to write a book about it and he had tips that could help her. She was astonished with the instruction God gave her through this man and vowed to keep her promise to God by telling the world of his love for her and her family. This is a riveting story of a broken girl whom God put back together again. It is a story about breaking the chains of self-doubt and learning to face fear while maneuvering through storms in life when there seems to be no hope in the fight. Raising West Point: The Unmasking of a Hero is just the beginning of an extraordinary life God made out of such an ordinary girl and then was faithful in doing amazing works in her kids' lives especially in the world of sports and school. If you are searching for love, peace, and happiness in your life, this is a must-read! If you want to raise kids to be more than survivors of this life but to engage in a purpose-driven, passionate life of hard work, determination, and discipline, you must hear these stories that God told her to write. Starting out as a single teenage mom and having been told she would amount to nothing, Tina chose to have faith and dared to be the best mom she could be through God, teaching her kids to be explosive while blowing the roof off the ceiling of their potential. Through this captivating book, she tells of her emotional journey in raising a very talented athlete in Sabria and then sending her off to the academy, followed by the struggles of hitting rock bottom after a devastating ACL injury during basketball season.

Download or read book Raising Real Men written by Hal Young and published by Great Waters Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Families with boys often find the world reacts to them in mock horror. Even though parents love their sons, privately they admit that boys can be a handful to raise--they are boisterous, competitive, reckless, distractable. The challenge of wills between parent and son starts early, and the quest to civilize young bulls may seem hopeless some days. Yet believers know that God has given them children as a gift of heaven, specially chosen for their particular families and marked as a blessing. If that's so, why does it seem so hard? How can we prepare these boys to serve God when it's all we can do to make it through another day? Isn't there a better way? Raising Real Men: Surviving, Teaching and Appreciating Boys shows the answer is emphatically yes. Written by the parents of six boys, Raising Real Men provides hope and encouragement to families with sons. Starting from the premise that God made boys to become men, Hal and Melanie Young offer Biblical principles and tested, practical ideas for training the manly virtues that can drive parents and teachers up the wall. This is a practical guide to equipping the hearts and minds of boys without breaking or losing your own. "...earthy, realistic, humorous, and scriptural ..." -- Douglas Wilson, author, Future Men "This is just what the doctor ordered for parents who want to raise capable Christian men of character." -- John Rosemond, author, Parenting By The Book
