"Someone once said, 'A man is not a man until his father tells him he is.' The problem is that most men and boys don’t know how to be godly men. Fathers and Sons Together is a roadmap for any man to pursue his true calling. I especially appreciate the outline of meetings for a father-son group. This is life changing material!"
—Jim Burns, Ph.D., President of HomeWord, author of “Creating an Intimate Marriage” and “Confident Parenting”
"The church today needs Fathers and Sons Together! It’s a call to authentic manhood and an exhortation to us dads to pass on our faith to the younger generation. A must-read for every father, father-to-be, and church leader who wants to be used by God to impact the lives of countless generations."
— Mike Sciarra, father and Senior Pastor at Grace Church of Orange in Orange, California
"I wanted my son to grow up in his faith surrounded by godly men who would serve as role models and mentors, and that’s what our father/son group has facilitated. This book will inspire and enable you to provide your son—and other fathers and sons—this kind of life-changing experience. Read Fathers and Sons Together and you just may realize that John’s vision is exactly what God wants for you."
— Mike Guest, college instructor/high-school teacher
"If there is a way to put 'tennis shoes' on godliness, John Kain has captured it with Fathers and Sons Together. The five key principles highlighted throughout, provide a simple, yet powerful, framework for men to pursue godliness, and raise the next generation to walk in those same 'tennis shoes'. Thanks for sharing your heart, John."
— Steve Albin, Corporate Education Executive and Dad
"Fathers and Sons Together is tremendously valuable to any father who desires to teach his son what it means to be a godly man. It is critical that this information—these five basic biblical principles—be passed from father to son, or it will be lost amid the distractions of this world."
— Mark Humphreys, FAA pilot and father
"Although written by a man for men, Fathers and Sons Together has much to offer us women. Readers will find many lessons about what it really means to love God and to live for him! I’m excited to know that young men are receiving intentional, interactive spiritual guidance from a group of fathers who offer different perspectives within a biblical worldview. The ministry described is effective (as evidenced by the sons who have already graduated), and Fathers and Sons Together provides the tools needed for others to begin a father/son group and then grow it. Thanks, John Kain, for sharing with us what you have learned from Scripture and from a life of obedience to it. I’m eager to share with my youth group what I learned and how I’ve changed from reading this book."
— Marlie Whiteman, P.E., Project Manager and Volunteer Youth Ministry Leader
"This is a much-needed tool for Christian fathers as they walk through life with their sons. John has not written down these words merely to sell books but instead to state truth—truth dads need to hear and follow. He gets beyond Christian platitudes as he addresses the challenging realities of raising Christian sons. Having worked with children and families for many years, I have all too often seen dads spend more time with their sons on the soccer field than involved with their kids spiritually. Fathers and Sons Together can stimulate change to end that tragedy."
— Wanda Parker, Founder/Director of Program Development, KidTrek
"I found Fathers and Sons Together not only a well-written compendium of thoughts and responses that confront many fathers and sons of our time, but also a very practical guideline for both as they march along life’s journey with God. Although I regret that these materials were not available to me when my son was younger, the truths expressed are as timely now as they would have been then, and it is not too late to share this with my fully grown son. The author covers the spectrum ranging from everyday topics in discipline and money management to more complex areas such as dating and spiritual maturity. I highly recommend Fathers and Sons Together to dads, sons, future fathers and anyone with a vested interest in or a remote curiosity about a biblically based father/son relationship."
— Steve Runk, Civil Engineer and Father
