Review Quotes

"Raising Boys: A Christian Parenting Book is an essential and impactful book for anyone who wants to know about and improve their relationship with the boys in their life. I highly recommend Quinn's book to parents, parents-to-be, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone who wants to improve and understand the 'how-to' raise sons, grandsons, nephews, or any boy close to them. Quinn's format and layout of each chapter make reading her book or finding a particular topic easy. She is forthright and gets straight to the point. Her topics, stories, and suggestions are ones we can relate to and want to know more about. I find it amazing that Quinn covers so much we need to know about boys in one book. She not only tells us what to do but how to do it. As a mother of four grown sons, I wish I had this book during the years I had my sons at home.
