Life Skill for Guys

Guys! Every feel you're careening down the road nearly out of control? You're in a lane one minute and running over a signpost the next? Mom's on you about your hair; Dad's after you to be more responsible.

Parents! From the passenger seat, it's all you can do not to grab the wheel and take control. Suddenly your little boy is a new, nearly independent person.

You want to connect, but how?

Let Tim Smith--dad, husband, and pastor--help. Each chapter of Life Skills zeroes in on one topic, designed for both of you, It includes:

• a few questions to discuss
•a letter Tim wrote to guys he has counseled
•a place to write a letter to your son--or to respond to your dad or mom
•a Connection activity to strengthen your relationship. (You'll probably each want your own book!)

So pick a topic of interest, make a date with your parent or son, and start down the Life Skills highway.
