Wild Boys Into Men
Seraphic Friend Tony Woodlief has written a great pamphlet. I've read it—twice—and encourage all my readers to order this fine work, and support the The New Pamphleteer. This is a cutting-edge conservative enterprise whose work echoes the early political pamphlets circulated by Tom Paine and other great American figures.
How does a hapless 21st century dad raise three young sons to manhood without taming their natural wildness? Modern society seems more interested in turning wild boys into mild boys, rather than harnessing their natural aggressiveness in traditional male virtues like protecting the innocent and seeking justice. Author Tony Woodlief describes his near-obsessive quest to find books, toys, movies, and other resources that teach boys to develop their character without losing what he calls “The Cowboy Gene.” In the course of that struggle, he finds out the true meaning of fatherhood.
To read an excerpt and order this wonderful pamphlet, go to The New Pamphleteer, here.
Oh, and Tony recommends my novel The Hebrew Kid and the Apache Maiden as a book that should be read by boys — for it will help teach them how to be men.
Karen and I wish you all a lovely and meaningful Shabbos.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Robert (& Karen),
I am not Jewish but nonetheless want to mention it is always so pleasant to have you weekly wish all a lovely and meaningful Shabbos.
That kindness in itself is most meaningful.

Everyone deserves a lovely Shabbos.

Richard:
Has the Hebrew Kid been translated into hebrew?
I searched for it and couldn't find the translated version.

David:
The Hebrew Kid has not been translated into Hebrew. You'll have to bear down and read it in English—or Apache:)
