Description:

Raise Your Boys to be Men of Faith and Courage

Parenting can be a wild frontier—but one you can tame if you have courage, love, and the right perspective.

Raising a Modern Frontier Boy is a comprehensive, firsthand, tour-guide look into the frontier of fatherhood. Written from a father and a son’s perspective, you see both sides of parenting—what works, what didn’t work, and what built an enduring friendship and collegiality that extends far beyond the parenting years.

Raising a Modern Frontier Boy recounts the fascinating journey of writer and director John Grooters through the parenting years with his son, Jedidiah. Their story culminates when 19-year-old Jed accepts a starring role in the feature film The Frontier Boys, and embodies the faith and values that he, by then, had chosen to embrace and live on his own.

Intelligent, instructive, and intriguing, Raising a Modern Frontier Boy will set you on an amazing path toward an enduring relationship of mutual respect and love.
