Rite of Passage: A Father's Blessing - Softcover

Adulthood Shouldn't Be an Accident.

When does your child become an adult? And how does a father call out the man or woman in his growing children?

In an era of aging pre-adults and wandering "adult-olescents," Jim McBride gives parents a practical tool to help launch their children into their own lives with purpose.

Drawing from the rites of passage he went through for each of his own kids, this executive producer of Fireproof and Courageous explains how we can equip our children to want to grow up - not when the video game's over, or "someday" - but at an appointed place and time. Dads, moms, and other mentoring adults have the unique opportunity to guide young people toward adulthood.

This guidebook includes ideas and practical examples for planning your own family rites of passage.
