Looking for a few good men...
I received this email recently:
"We homeschool our 7 children, ages 10-22, and happened on your blog quite some time ago. Our older daughters (since they have more time than I do) frequent your blog quite often as well as Ladies Against Feminism and quite a few others. My question: Can you recommend any similar sites/blogs for Christian young men? We have sons ages 13, 15, and 20. There seems to be so much available for young ladies, but I am not aware of much for young men. Personally, I can't think of very many godly Christian men that I can point my sons to as models... Having raised them from a conservative and Biblical perspective, there's much in the world we have to say "no" to. But
I am finding as our children are older and into young adulthood, that there needs to be something we can say "yes" to. It has helped our daughters to know that there are others out there who are like-minded, even if we never meet them. But what is available for sons?! Hope you can help.
Thank you for what you represent to our young people and for the Lord. God Bless you as you raise your daughter. -Mrs. S."
I know of a few blogs I can recommend, namely CS Hayden and Doug Phillips.
My husband is also planning to begin blogging regularly as well.
But, I know there have got to be other websites and blogs for Godly young men, I just haven't taken the time to go looking since I haven't really had a need to! Can you send me some suggestions and ideas and recommendations that I can pass along? Comment to this post, or drop me an email.
For those who might be interested, we also just added two new books to our bookstore (both which are on sale!) specifically for men and young men: Boyhood and Beyond and Family Man, Family Leader.

Here's one I came across not too long ago and really like!
Rebelution
It's run by Alex and Brett Harris, sons of homeschool speaker Gregg Harris. I have been very impressed with the content and quality of their writing. I think they have some links on their site to blogs by other young men that would be worth checking into as well.
Oh, Natalie, thanks! That is great!
I have a couple of blogs linked from my blog under the heading: Blogs for Young Men. One is by a Stanford student out in California. He has some very meaningful and convicting posts and comes from a reformed baptist perspective. The blog is called Drinking Deeply. The other would be Cumberland Island from someone who posts here on occasion, Adrian.
I have noticed the same trend that there are far more quality girl's blogs than guy's blogs. It takes some searching to find high-caliber men's blogs. Of course, I have to mention my own brother's blog: C.S. Hayden's Blog. I have his linked as well under the same heading. Hope these suggestions point someone to "a few good men."
BTW, Caleb may be able to suggest others as he knows many young men from all over.
I have all boys and feel somewhat at a loss to know how to teach them to be men! I know about girls, but not boys!
What do you think of the Bringing up Boys book by Dobson
Cumberland Island has some good links, as well (not to toot my own horn too much).
Martha, I've not read the book. Have you or anyone else here?
