\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In case you haven’t guessed from my blog already…I love reading. \u00a0Even more specifically, I love reading books that encourage people to run hard after Christ with an intentional plan of becoming all that He created us to be. \u00a0That being said, you need to pick up a copy of Flight Plan: your mission to become a man<\/a>. \u00a0That title seems to be an odd choice for a 31 year old woman, especially one with a 2 year old daughter! \u00a0However, I was sent a free copy of this book by one of the authors, Braxton Brady<\/a>. \u00a0Braxton and I grew up together in Memphis, TN and he is now serving as the chaplain of Presbyterian Day School<\/a>. \u00a0Braxton co-wrote this book with their Headmaster Lee Burns<\/a>. \u00a0PDS is a private Christian school for elementary age boys located in Memphis. \u00a0Burns and Brady are both advocates of intentionally investing in young men.<\/p>\n

As an educator I can vouch for the fact that we need to put a copy of this book in the hands of our young men. \u00a0I think that this book would be particularly helpful for middle school boys as well as those who parents or teach boys. \u00a0I can definitely say that this book helped me gain a better understanding of the boys I come in contact with on a daily basis and gave me insight on why they make some of the decisions that they do.<\/p>\n

As a parent, I enjoyed the opportunity to read this book thinking ahead to the young men that my daughter will one day be interested in…particularly the one God intends for her to marry. \u00a0My husband and I pray daily for our daughter’s future husband. \u00a0This book helped me have a clearer understanding about what young boys are experiencing and how to encourage and pray for them.<\/p>\n

Burns and Brady covered many different topics in this book coming from their years of experience investing in young men. \u00a0The flight plan theme is carried throughout the book and uses several stories of adventure to make their points. \u00a0I know that will really attract the boys! \u00a0I also appreciate the way that Burns and Brady used to Bible to counter some popular myths that are so pervasive in our culture. \u00a0This book is full of truth and will be a great tool in helping young men understand who they are in Christ and what their calling is as they become men of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
