Summary: Patriarchal Hooey
Comment: I was looking into classical christian homeschooling at one point, because I thought that it might have someting to do with re-establishing the rigor of earlier forms of instruction. After looking at people like Wilson at thought better of it. Much of what is called classical christian education is like this: worship of a bizarre fantasy of the past (espcially the old South and its pompous, lazy aristoracy) mixed with enough Latin, Logic, and Rhetoric to to make the students and parents feel superior to all those public school kids who waste their time learning the ideals of democracy. I will give this to Wilson: unlike many fundamentalists, he's pretty open about his belief in patriarchy. The only thing scarier than this guy are the people who idolize him. His ideas about manhood have nothing to do Jesus or christianity, and his ideas about women are downright evil.

Summary: God's wisdom and shaping young men
Comment: Wilson's "Future Men" is another invaluable work in the family series he and his wife have penned. The book spells out solid Christian principles, neither becoming preachy nor overly sentimental, but refutes twin the dangers of false masculinity and the feminization of young men. Wilson never makes excuses for immature behavior, but demonstrating how boys can be forged into men by teaching them through their adolescent foolishness. One of the other reviewers missed this key point, thinking that Wilson would have us believe that punching someone's lights out is his answer to Godliness. Wilson only points out that the child in the story about Teddy Roosevelt was acting on good principles, but did so in an immature way. Roosevelt rewarded the child, not for his immature action, but for his desire to preserve and protect the honor of his sister. Wilson constantly admonishes and encourages parents with the wisdom of the Proverbs, helping them to see through the troubles of teaching a boy to the joy of biblical manhood.

Summary: Practical and interesting
Comment: Although I do not have kids yet, the lessons and chapters and concepts taught in this book have been useful for me in dealing with my own sunday school kids (of course the boys in particular). Lot of verses from Proverbs,very insightful.
