Hold Fast in a Broken World: Father and Sons, Vol. 2 (Bond)

Description

Hold Fast in a Broken World is a ramped-up call for young men to prepare for stalwart leadership in the family, church, and culture.

Doug Bond engages readers in a frank discussion of the cultural topics that a young man must biblically master if he is to be the winsome, servant leader of the rising generation. Covering topics from stem-cell research to abortion, feminism to gay marriage, multiculturalism to death art, Hold Fast will help fathers prepare their sons to live with courage and wisdom in a hostile world, to be strong men who live and die to the glory of God.

"Douglas Bond has written the book that many dads will wish their father had read with them, and that they will be so thankful to have for prayerful discussion with their own sons now...Fathers, get this book, sit down with your son, pray and get started. Your son will understand the engaging language and powerful illustrations; you will be thanking God for the help in talking about so many topics you know will benefit your son as he reaches for manhood. Very edifying; don't miss out on this!" - Paul Walker, pastor and hospital chaplain (retired), Vancouver, BC
