Take the Lead

25 Letters of Advice to My Son

This book is a letter to you.

More precisely, it is a collection of twenty-five letters—each one with your name on the envelope.

Written from the heart of a father to his son, each letter shares biblical truth made readily accessible through personal illustrations and direct application. Whether you are a teen or young adult, the godly counsel and practical advice in these pages will provide guidance as you make some of the most significant choices of your life.

Take the Lead can also be used as a devotional resource for fathers and their sons as well as for anyone who teaches and mentors young men. Application questions at the end of each letter provide opportunity for discussion and personal growth.
