Book excerpt: Are love and faith enough? After meeting at a young age, Shane and Amanda fall deeply in love. Their lives seem perfect as they progress through high school, and Shane is grateful to God for the enormous blessings he's been given. But high school doesn't last forever, and Shane realizes the rest of his life will never be the same. He has to make difficult decisions, ones that pull him away from the friends he loves dearly, his precious parents, and Amanda. But he and Amanda are certain that they're supposed to use the athletic talents they've always possessed for God's glory, so they decide to wait on forever until they have achieved their goals. Shane is sure everything will work out. It's God's plan, isn't it? Will the flame of love that blazes within these Burning Hearts be extinguished in pursuing the abilities that God has blessed them with, or will their sense of duty to God be subordinate to their love?

Download or read book Raising Men written by Eric Davis and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL Teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of fifteen, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he’d fought so hard to forge when his children were young—particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one’s own. Unfortunately, Eric learned the hard way that Quality Time doesn’t always show up in Quantity Time. Facebook, television, phones, video games, school, jobs, friends—they all got in the way of a real, meaningful father-son relationship. It was time to take action. As a SEAL, Eric learned to innovate and push boundaries, allowing him to function at levels beyond what was expected, comfortable, ordinary, and even imaginable, and he knew that as a father he needed to do the same with his son. Meeting extreme with extreme was the only answer. Using a unique blend of discipline, leadership, adventure, and grace, Eric and his SEAL brothers will teach you how to connect, and reconnect, with your sons and learn how to raise real men—the Navy SEAL way.
