Resumen del Editor

Self-initiation is killing our young men. Without strong mentors, boys are walking alone into a wilderness of conflicting messages about who they should be as men. It's no wonder that our sons are confused about what the world expects from them and what they should expect of themselves.

The Intentional Father is the antidote. This concise book is filled with practical steps to help men raise sons of consequence—young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day. Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family.

It's not enough to hope our sons will become good men. We need them to be good at being men. This book shows how fathers, grandfathers, and other male mentors can lead the way.

Insightful borders to raising men

This book touches on a lot of topics I feel many people wouldn't consider. Many new-age books on fathering are very politically charged and teach you to immaculate your boys, where this book kind of shows you to raise young men as potential power and a source to be respected. It goes into detailed (but not too much) example of how to create life-altering moments with your boys and what to consider when facing the milestones of raising a child.

Give this book a listen past the intro. It's filled with wisdom, insight, some hearty laughs, and some misty-eyed moments.

I'll be picking up a hard copy of this book to mark up and wreck, and I'll be re-reading this book throughout the years to come, and I'll be using this book considerably when I draw out the roadmap of life I'd like my son to experience. Wish me luck,

Outstanding work of fathering and discipling

Intentional father is a great work for any father serious about discipling there sons.

More than that it is a great resource to disciple at every level

Incredible. Starts off slow but is totally worth the read

The first 30-45 minutes are repetitive and not great. But after that it’s extremely practical, inspiring, and very well done. I’m so thankful I stuck it out and didn’t return the book and kept listening.

Great

Very good knowledge of what it takes to be a great father. I am great full for this book.

Very challenging

Great tips. Heart felt. Very challenging. I look forward to exploring more intentionality with my son.

Impactful- a must read

As men, I feel we've lost our way or maybe even been misguided or misinformed in what it means to be a man, and how to father our boys into manhood. For me, this book planted a seed in what that should/could look like. What potential we have to leave behind a great legacy for our sons and even our daughters by implementing some of the things in this book. The teachings, life experiences. and moments we create for them are what they'll take into the world when on their own. It will be some of the greatest moments and legacy we leave behind. I want my son's journey into manhood to be filled with great experiences and moments. I've definitely fallen short in the past, but ultimately want to heal any wounds that I've caused and become a blessing to all of my children. Thankful for this book. - Nahum Razo

Inspiring

Tyson offers inspiration, creativity and hope for fathers and future fathers. Looking forward to creating an initiation process for my son.

Amazing

What the world needs from men at this moment . Recommended to me and I will recommend it to others.

Phenomenal and actionable

I was blown away by the spirit I felt in this book. I feel inspired to help my two year old son achieve his highest self. It has inspired me to do the same. I can’t say how much this one has stuck with me. Be open , the cost of some of these ideas monetary or time wise may seem steep but I think that giving your all to being an intentional father is so important.

A heavy vision of fatherhood

A bit heavy but a path worth exploring as we raise the next generation of young men.
