Raising boys in today’s cultural climate is a challenge. Boys are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed—when they are simply doing what their Creator wired them to do. As moms of boys, we can struggle to understand them and respond in a way that will encourage them toward the kind of manhood God has in mind. 

In Raising Boys to Men, Durenda shares her three decades of experience raising and homeschooling her five boys. She brings wisdom and perspective that will inspire moms to see their sons in a fresh and hopeful way, so they can raise the next generation of boys to be courageous men of faith and action.
