As I was driving home from work one day I had a familiar tune in my head… An extremely popular rap song at the time, it had been playing on the radio at my job, and I simply could not shake the melody of the chorus. During this time, I had been praying to God about my Sons. My eldest was about to turn 15, my youngest, 12, and although they were –and are– great children, I knew that they were passing the age-of-influence. At least, passing the ages where I would be the singular male influence in their lives.
They were increasingly captivated by outside influences like school, TV, and MUSIC. Particularly, songs like the one I couldn’t get out of my head.
I prayed, “God give me a way to communicate values and lessons to them that —like this song— could echo over and over in their minds. Give me a vehicle that I can use to convey the ideas they will need to become good men. Give me something that they can access ANYTIME, even the times —Lord forbid— when I am not around.”
With that song still knocking around in my head, God gave me 99 Lessons for My Teenage Son.
#99Lessons started out as a REMINDER list, but over the past two and a half years it has GROWN into something that I thought would bless more than just my children... More than just me! Honestly, These lessons have affected every part of my life and reminded me what it means to be a man. This book is a holistic complement to that process. I pray that it blesses you to read it, as much as it has blessed me to write it.
