Knights in Training

Ten Principles for Raising Honorable, Courageous, and Compassionate Boys

De: Heather Haupt

Narrado por: Heather Haupt

Bringing chivalry back into our modern-day world, this book shows us how to inspire today's generation of young boys to pursue honor, courage, and compassion.

In an age when respect and honor seem like distant and antiquated relics, how can we equip boys to pursue valor and courageously put the needs of others before their own? This book helps parents to inspire their boys by captivating their imagination and honoring their love for adventure. Heather Haupt explores how knights historically lived out various aspects of the knights' Code of Chivalry, as depicted in the French epic Song of Roland, and how boys can embody these same ideals now. When we issue the challenge and give boys the reasons why it is worth pursuing, we step forward on an incredible journey towards raising the kind of boys who, just like the knights of old, make an impact in their world now and for the rest of their lives.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Knights in Training is a breath of fresh air in today's world. In this must-read book, Heather Haupt provides an inspired and powerful roadmap for anyone raising boys to be polite, compassionate, honorable gentlemen. Highly recommended!”
-Amy McCready, Founder of PositiveParentingSolutions.com and author of The “Me, Me, Me” Epidemic: A Step-by-Step Guide to Raising Capable, Grateful Kids in an Over-Entitled World

"Chivalry does not have to die and civility does not have to be a lost art form, but the only way for these to make a comeback in society is to start in families and at home. Heather Haupt offers fascinating insight into the current state of boyhood and manhood, alongside a practical and fun guide for training our boys in the ways of courage, kindness, and honor. I'm inspired to raise my three boys to be modern-day knights who will love God, respect and serve others, and leave this world a better place than they found it."
-Erin Mohring, co-founder of The MOB Society and Raising Boys Ministries, writer at homewiththeboys.net

“I often talk with parents about the importance of teaching boys to be gentlemen. Then parents ask me, “How, exactly do I do that? How do I raise my son to be a gentleman?” From now on, I will know just how to answer. I will tell parents: “Read Heather Haupt’s book Knights in Training.””
-Leonard Sax MD PhD, author of the New York Times bestseller The Collapse of Parenting, Why Gender Matters, Boys Adrift, Girls on the Edge

“As a father seeking to raise a son in an environment that seems at times hostile to the idea of manhood, I found Heather's book both challenging and refreshing! I pray that the 10 principles espoused in this book would by God's grace become normative for how we seek to raise our boys into men.”
-Matt Chandler - Author, Lead Pastor of The Village Church, President of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network

"I am so grateful to see a fresh perspective on an age-old quest: raising boys into men. Using the time-honored code of the Knights, Heather reminds parents that not much has changed when it comes to raising the next generation of young men. Treat women with respect. Tell the truth. Be generous. Thanks, Heather! I needed that. We all need it."
Heidi St. John, Author, Speaker, Creator of thebusymom.com

"Heather Haupt has written a much-needed guide for raising boys into men…Chivalry is all-but dead, but Haupt's excellent book will tell parents how to bring it back to life!"
-Family psychologist John Rosemond, author of Parenting by The Book

Raising Boys Right

There are too many good points in the book to mention a favorite. It is worthwhile if you have boys to raise or just want to help someone raising theirs.

Little boys to knights!

I have been praying for a fun, purposefully way in helping my son learn how to become a gentleman. I have 3 girls as well and this book has great ideas on helping them all to become the best they can in a playful way!
When I have expressed my concerns of raising "good" adults who fill their potential, I have been told to "just let them be kids". This is a great plan to help them rise up and become the person they are meant to be, and even help childhood to even be more magical!
Thank you Heather for sharing! I have shared this book with several friends and we have started using this in our homes and are working together to raise modern day nights.

Where does Knights in Training rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

While I've listened to well over a hundred audio books, this book is unique, and cannot be compared to most that to which I have listened.

What other book might you compare Knights in Training to and why?

Boys Adrift. Knights in Training identifies many of the problems into which young manhood today has fallen, as does Boys Adrift. However, Knights in Training goes on to suggest a concise plan of action for parents dealing with those challenges.

Have you listened to any of Heather Haupt’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not previously listened to another performance of Heather Haupt. I am not usually in favor of authors reading their own works, as a gifted writer does not necessarily translate into a gifted narrator, but Mrs. Haupt can both write and narrate well, and because of the passion she brings to the topic, she is the ideal narrator for Knights in Training.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction. It did make me laugh, having grown up in a family of boys, and now trying to raise a boy.

Any additional comments?

I strongly urge anyone raising boys to listen to or read this book. Most parents do not recognize the degree to which their boys are under fire from several sides. Consequently, boys and young men, and even some older ones, flounder in modern society. Heather advocates a revolution to restore to men, young and old, their societal value and dignity, and their prospects for personal happiness and fulfillment.

Thank you Heather. You have delivered a very timely antidote for some of the very serious ills currently plaguing our nation.

A really good read. The application of the principles of chivalry in raising boys is a brilliant notion. I see this being a great tool to use with son as he's very fond of emulating heroes.
