About this ebook
Why is it that the curricular world seems to celebrate the coming of age with parties and big gifts, but we in the church seem to overlook these important times in a child's life? This book was created for intense training for young boys 12/13 of age to prepare them for their teenage years. With questions and answers, links to additional bible studies, and clear speaking, down to earth lessons, a parent or teacher would have no problem teaching these important lessons that all Christian, young men should learn. The book also includes a written service to be used for Confirmation or Declaration of Faith.

Hello Readers!I was born to two awesome parents that supported me and my wild imagination. Even though I am older, I am still a big dreamer. Its thanks to that talent to dream that has lead me to write. From children series, to funny stories that are designed to help parents open the doors of communication with their children, or a supernatural thriller (for adults),I desire to leave an impact on the world in a way that I believe can only be do through the written language. If I can do that, my life will be great!!ThanxEmail: szymanskicl@Hotmail.com

Purpose:
Why is it that the curricular world seems to celebrate the coming of age with parties and big gifts, but we in the church seem to overlook these important times in a child's life? That is what happened when my oldest was nearing thirteen. My family wanted to put a spiritual meaning on this time, but there were no books, and our spiritual leaders had no idea of what we were desiring.
Similar to what the Jewish community has for their youth is what we, too wanted to happen for our son. We wanted a time of training or mentoring to prepare him for the next stage, teenager and then manhood. We wanted to give him something more lasting than cake, a party, gifts, and money. We knew that this training wasn’t going to instantly transform him into a man, but after it, we were hoping for his faith, and understanding to be heightened. We were hoping he would develop a sense of how important change is. Just like he was being educated and prepared academically, we desired for the same importance to be given at this important age in his life, and to stress the importance of Christ in his life as he crossed over into his teenage years.
So, I created this book for other parents that are searching for a source
