Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every boy's destiny is manhood. The Young Men's Manual will help boys arrive there. The Crossing Rite of Passage from Boyhood to Manhood trains boys to become Christian men of character and faith. The Young Men's Manual is a companion book to The Mentor's Manual for the fathers and mentors. Each father and mentor needs a copy of The Mentor's Manual, while each boy needs his own copy of the Young Men's Manual. Just as Major League Baseball players never start a new season without spring training-neither should boys. Yet most boys start their adult lives as men without a day of training on manhood. Boys need mentoring more than ever today to prepare them as men. They need training to build character qualities like commitment, responsibility, and self-control. Throughout time and throughout the world, rites of passage have transformed boys into men through training and ritual. Post-modern culture no longer offers this training. Boys are on their own today, and millions of them are drifting toward a shipwreck in their lives, relationships and future marriages. Boys are falling behind girls in education at every level. 42% of college and graduate students are male today. Boys are twice as likely to abuse alcohol, three times more likely to be drug addicts, and five times more likely to kill themselves. Pornography is one more addiction. With fatherlessness at epidemic levels, boys of every race and social level are more desperate than ever for belonging and guidance from older men. 85% of men in prison are fatherless sons. Their hurt, anger and lack of moral guidance put them behind bars-two million of them. If only they had been mentored and loved by older men. Prisons would be emptied in half. The fatherless cycle would also be broken. The Crossing Rite of Passage from Boyhood to Manhood: Young Men's Manual, includes most of the content of the Mentor's Manual, and more. Both Manuals include; A History of Male Rites of Passage, Six Lessons in Manhood, A Code of Honor, Good Deed Project, Your Role in God's Epic History, Outdoor Adventure Challenge, Initiation into Manhood Fire Ceremony, worksheets and reviews. Like the Jewish Bar Mitzvah, the ages for the boys' training can start at thirteen, but the training applies to all boys up to seventeen-any time before graduation from high school. While a father and son can read through these books together, a Mentor Team of five to seven fathers is recommended to train a small group of boys. Manhood is every boy's destiny. This training program will set them on course to get there.

Book excerpt: Not Forsaken: Growing up Black, Male and Christian in the Hood encapsulates principles author Chris McNair gleaned from successfully working with at-risk African American boys in the inner city in over thirty years of ministry. This book teaches how youth workers can address social, emotional, physical and spiritual issues facing young black men in the city. It is about building a relational ministry among black youth, centered on instilling a sense of identity in Christ and provides a study curriculum to use with the young men themselves. In addition to in-depth content from the Leader Guide, the study sessions contains everything needed to begin to equip leaders and guide a group through the study including session plans, activities, and discussion questions. "In the thirty years I have known Rev. Chris McNair, he has always been hanging out with urban black males that no other youth serving organization or ministry seems able to connect with. By building long-term relationships with the most at-risk city youth, McNair engenders trust and creates possibilities for redemption. Part narrative and part training guide, Not Forsaken introduces you to his inspiring and instructive methodology for transformational ministry among urban black males and their families. This is a must read for anyone who cares about the future of our cities." Curtiss Paul DeYoung, CEO, Minnesota Council of Churches “Chris McNair is a veteran youth worker, urban pastor, and advocate for the empowerment of the marginalized. I consider myself part of the fruit of his labor. Allow this book to equip you to serve as a vehicle of transformation among God's urban children and families.” Dr. Efrem Smith, Co-Senior Pastor of Bayside Church Midtown and Co-Owner of Influential LLC “I have never read a book that so clearly explains the plight of the African American male but yet navigates a clear path to fulfillment..... in Christ. The study guide really does hold your hand and takes you through thoughtful yet challenging issues the young African American males face today with a Scriptural foundation.” Bruce Morgan, CEO Kids Across America

Book excerpt: An initial introduction to the study of Christian theology is both exciting and invigorating for students of its discipline. One can become enameled in the classic perspectives of theology without any consideration of a possible alternative. Defining Salvation in the Context of Black Theology is an exit from the classic conviction that trumpets the doctrine of soteriology attributing its substance to the posture of eternity while ignoring the importance of salvation in the existential. Careful not to reject the question of eternal life, but examining the nuances of the term "salvation" empowers this work to present the like manner essential that having salvation is just as much about "now" than it is in the here after.

Book excerpt: For generations, other religions and cultures have put their children through a rite of passage to adulthood. Many people are aware of the Jewish practice of the Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, for example. The reality, however, is that many children today don’t learn how to become adults on purpose; rather, they ride the wave of adolescence toward an unknown adult future. Moms, dads, and other perfectly placed adults have the unique opportunity to guide the teenagers in their life toward adulthood. This is not a privilege to be taken lightly, but neither is it an impossible task. Jim McBride, executive producer of Fireproof and Courageous, brings wisdom, experience, and practical examples to his guidebook for leading those burgeoning adults in your life through a real-life Rite of Passage.

Book excerpt: The paper in this volume are organized in three parts: scriptural, contextual and theological. The central question being addressed is: how do Christians living in contexts, where Islam is a majority or minority religion, experience, express or think of the Cross? This is, therefore, an exercise in listening. As the contexts from where these engagements arise are varied, the papers in drawing scriptural, contextual and theological reflections offer a cross-section of Christian thinking about Jesus and the Cross.
