“Full of lively illustrations, wise warnings, and hard-hitting application 
for everyday life, Bond’s latest book addresses all of the strong 
temptations and difficult trials that young men face today. Ideal 
for personal study or father-son discussion, Fathers and Sons is an 
invitation to pursue manly godliness in the adventure of life.” 
—Philip Graham Ryken, senior minister, 
Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia 
 
“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 
 
“Douglas Bond’s engaging study will help us as men know how to 
think about our world and our responsibilities as sons and fathers and 
leaders. I would encourage dads and sons to read it together, to discuss 
it, to pray over what you’ve learned, and to memorize the key Scripture 
verses together.” 
—Bently B. Rayburn, United States Air Force 
Major General (retired)
 
“Douglas Bond doesn’t write for the faint-hearted. This is for men who 
want the next generation—including their very own sons—to be more 
stalwart than they were themselves. . . . Douglas Bond calls you to set 
your plow shares deep, do the hard work of parenting while it is yet 
day, and look to a faithful heavenly Father for a rewarding harvest.” 
—Joel Belz, founder, World magazine
