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

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book of 2019 A unique exploration of the life and work of Rudyard Kipling in Gilded Age America, from a celebrated scholar of American literature At the turn of the twentieth century, Rudyard Kipling towered over not just English literature but the entire literary world. At the height of his fame in 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, becoming its youngest winner. His influence on major figures—including Freud and William James—was pervasive and profound. But in recent decades Kipling’s reputation has suffered a strange eclipse. Though his body of work still looms large, and his monumental poem “If—” is quoted and referenced by politicians, athletes, and ordinary readers alike, his unabashed imperialist views have come under increased scrutiny. In If, scholar Christopher Benfey brings this fascinating and complex writer to life and, for the first time, gives full attention to Kipling's intense engagement with the United States—a rarely discussed but critical piece of evidence in our understanding of this man and his enduring legacy. Benfey traces the writer’s deep involvement with America over one crucial decade, from 1889 to 1899, when he lived for four years in Brattleboro, Vermont, and sought deliberately to turn himself into a specifically American writer. It was his most prodigious and creative period, as well as his happiest, during which he wrote The Jungle Book and Captains Courageous. Had a family dispute not forced his departure, Kipling almost certainly would have stayed. Leaving was the hardest thing he ever had to do, Kipling said. “There are only two places in the world where I want to live,” he lamented, “Bombay and Brattleboro. And I can’t live in either.” In this fresh examination of Kipling, Benfey hangs a provocative “what if” over Kipling’s American years and maps the imprint Kipling left on his adopted country as well as the imprint the country left on him. If proves there is relevance and magnificence to be found in Kipling’s work.

Book excerpt: Rudyard Kipling's 'Captain Courageous' is a captivating tale of resilience and growth on the high seas. The novel follows the journey of Harvey Cheyne, a spoiled and arrogant young boy who is swept overboard from an ocean liner and rescued by a crew of fishermen. Through his experiences aboard the fishing vessel, Harvey learns the values of hard work, camaraderie, and personal responsibility. Kipling's narrative is rich in vivid imagery and realistic dialogue, presenting a compelling coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. The author's use of language showcases his mastery of storytelling and ability to transport readers into the heart of the action. Rudyard Kipling, a British author and poet, drew inspiration from his own travels and experiences to craft 'Captain Courageous.' Kipling's background in colonial India and his deep connection to the natural world shine through in his writing, providing depth and authenticity to the novel's setting and characters. His nuanced portrayal of Harvey's transformation reflects Kipling's belief in the transformative power of adversity and the human spirit's capacity for growth. I highly recommend 'Captain Courageous' to readers seeking an engaging and thought-provoking tale of self-discovery and adventure. Kipling's timeless themes of redemption, friendship, and personal development make this novel a compelling and rewarding read for both young adults and mature audiences alike.
