When a boy grows up without a dad, some lessons go untaught; some experiences don't happen; and most particularly, the boy doesn't feel the love from a man that he needs. Young men without dads have to overcome self-doubt, fear, and being fatherless in a sea of societal skepticism towards masculinity. \u003cem\u003eThe Map to Manhood\u003c\/em\u003e is a series of actions and activities designed to guide the young man who doesn't have the benefit of a loving in-home father. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour paths make up the journey; they are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Self-discipline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Relationships \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Purpose \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book there are links to videos and other resources, along with tables, worksheets, and places to record your experiences, thoughts, and ideas on your journey to manhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Stephenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stepdad Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798988815518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStephenson, James:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Growing up without a dad in the home has challenges. James learned this firsthand, having been raised by a single mother as the youngest of five kids. Many challenges are practical in nature, but the deepest challenges are emotional. James wasn't aware of how significant those challenges were until well into adulthood.While James was a teenager, there were a number of positive adult male role models that came into his life to fill the void of an absent father. One of them was Mark Gould. In many ways, Mark became a surrogate dad to James, opening his home, taking him camping, and even showing him how to ride a motorcycle and change the brakes on his mother's car.To pay Mark's kindness forward, as well as others', James started a non-profit organization, a YouTube channel, and an Instagram page to help young men growing up without their dads. James and his wife Suzanne have raised five children of their own, all of whom are now adults. Growing up in a single parent home, James has tremendous admiration and respect for those mothers who find themselves raising children by themselves. He also has deep empathy for kids growing up without a dad in their day-to-day lives.You can learn more at https: \/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/MyStepdad or mystepdad.org.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stepdad Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43180705906803,"sku":"9.79899E+12","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_4f1db5ef-b1dc-460f-95ad-a8da46008e15.jpg?v=1752058682","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-map-to-manhood-a-guide-for-young-men-growing-up-without-a-dad-9798988815518","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
