I will venture to make a public statement: "All men should read this book." I can definitely relate to many of the issues John describes in his book. A mother's love is golden and priceless, but there are some aspects of a young boy's life that need the guidance of a man or male figure. I will admit that I felt kind of embarrassed when my mother talked to me about sex and condoms, and my father never did. All of my sexual experiences were learned through trial-and-error. Not good. There are things that you just don't tell mom. She may not be able to handle it. John, I thank you for having the courage to share your story. I pray that it will help others who are also in need of that male mentorship/bonding. Hats off to a great writer who is going places. His name is John Perez Dennis. Much love, much peace, much respect to you. From one brother to another.Dr. Stanley Melton Harris........ I'm right behind you!!!
As a grandmother of a young boy being raised by single daughter... I can personally attest to the fact that 100% of the message bright to light by Mr. Dennis is not only thought provoking but most relevant!!!! Crucial points were highlighted that my daughter, my husband and I had never entertained as a consideration of need. Now we all are alarmed with a few new tools to provide a more focused approached to supporting the growth and intellectual development of our grandson!!! Mr. Dennis, thank you for sharing your journey that is so similar to many others! I recommend this book to any organization that works with kids and most definitely to single mothers and the grandparents, aunts and uncles to the young men that will help chart our history's path!!!Great Job Mr. Dennis!!!!
"Young black men have become the most gullible creatures on the planet." That bold sentence came from a Mississippi Klansman...This book is right on time, we live in a time when it seems to be a national black "Man Crisis." #blacklivesmatterToday women head 70 percent of black households! Now you tell me, how are young black boys going to learn how to be men? In my opinion this is a national crisis -- demanding the highest attention. John P Dennis Book couldn't have come at a better time. Excellent book and cant wait for the second book.
The author a product of a broken home himself repeats his own history but comes to understand that the male who is raised without a father or with limited male exposure is only half a man or a boy in need of mentoring, monitoring and male socilization .The cunumdrum is that women in vast tracts of todays American society after loving their man are left to feed clothe and provide for little boys who grow up to be either weak men or socially inept men with gaps in employment, direction ,proper affection and family cohesion .The solution is not the church or the government but male role models from all walks of life that walked the walk and stopped to talk about the stigma ,strain and confusion of lacking male role models and longing for Father ,Dad Pops , Friend .....Women are the valley and the shadows of many a young mans life and for that the author is thankful and respectfully appreciative ,it is the absence or near absence of male influence in todays broken home that Mr. Dennis looks to proffer advice ,knowledge ,suggestion and solution.. Bravo Mr.Dennis or as we used to say in that old school way (RIGHT ON DIG IT ) Buy the book and give of your time to raise good men ,great men family men ....
In a time in our society when single mothers are tasked with tough job of working and raising their children, we finally have a book that will give these warriors a foundation of raising young boys into Godly men. John Dennis brings wisdom, knowledge, and the experience of being raised by a single mother. I encourage everyone, especially moms, to read this book and share it.
I had the pleasure of working with the author, John Dennis, overseas and I was always aware of his deep intelligence and his abilities as a leader. This book falls right in line with who he is and with what his purpose here is. The book spoke volumes to me as I was raised by a woman and dealt with just about every issue Mr. Dennis addressed throughout the book. I can recall of having deep conversation with him while we worked together so his insight on this particular epidemic that has invaded black america shows his awareness and concern for our people. I highly recommend this book, not only to people who lived this life, but to anyone interested in hearing the trials, tribulations, heartaches and triumphs of being raised by a women and one day trying to become a man. Now we all know how he gets down!! Keep up the good work DS!!!
Wow! Great Read for any parent. I'm a single mom who has always sought sound wisdom in navigating the unknown with noticeable differences in raising a son without their dad, but also recognizing unhealthy boundaries as a parent in general. Only a man can explain what a growing boy needs and wants to be healthy. I have often looked for resources and this book is a must for any parent of a son or raising a boy.
