Learning 101 Things before you need them has the power to greatly impact and improve your life and or state of being. This book is written because , I wish someone would have told me many of these things. The mere thought to be prepared for some of the challenges would have been of great value to my life. Wth this book I hope to impart some encouragement, some wisdom and some insight for boys & men growing up in a world where it isn't easy to be a man, a world of expectations to be a man without instruction on how to deliver. this book is for fathers & mothers but most importantly this book is for sons and their journey.

"I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life." —Ronald Reagan Noted political commentator Michael Reagan, the son of Ronald Reagan and first wife Jane Wyman, has traveled across America, giving speeches and meeting the public. Time and time again, people tell him how much they love and miss his father, and what his presidency meant to them. In a world where role models are few and far between, Ronald Reagan’s legacy stands strong. In Lessons My Father Taught Me, Michael Reagan looks back over his years with his father and reflects on what he has learned from the greatest man he has ever known—and one of the greatest men the world has known. When Michael was growing up, his father would drive him out to his ranch. There Ronald Reagan taught Michael how to ride a horse, how to shoot a gun, and much more. As they drove together or did chores together, Michael’s father told him stories and taught him about life, love, family, faith, success, and leadership. Michael didn’t fully appreciate those lessons at the time, but years later he remembered—and he understood. Now, Michael Reagan shares his father’s wisdom and experience in this inspiring book.

The numerous studies of Maxine Hong Kingston's touchstone work The Woman Warrior fail to take into account the stories in China Men, which were largely written together with those in The Woman Warrior but later published separately. Although Hong Kingston's decision to separate the male and female narratives enabled readers to see the strength of the resulting feminist point of view in The Woman Warrior, the author has steadily maintained that to understand the book fully it was necessary to read its male companion text. Maureen Sabine's ambitious study of The Woman Warrior and China Men aims to bring these divided texts back together with a close reading that looks for the textual traces of the father in The Woman Warrior and shows how the daughter narrator tracks down his history in China Men. She considers theories of intertextuality that open up the possibility of a dynamic interplay between the two books and suggests that the Hong family women and men may be struggling for dialogue with each other even when they appear textually silent or apart.

This book can literally save your son's life. 'Back in the day' as a young man growing up in Chicago. When we reached the ages of 13 through 16 years old our mothers would go to the men in our neighborhood (husbands, boyfriends, uncles or men-friends) and ask them to give us 'The Man Talk'. They would tell the men that we had started 'smelling ourselves' (that's the 'Old School' way of saying, "Thinking that we were grown"). 'The Man Talk' consisted of the 'Life Lessons' that these men would share with us to positively guide us into manhood. Lessons that had been passed down from their fathers and grandfathers. A "Rites of Passage" if you will. These lessons I now share with other young men. Today's youth have missed this gravely important step in their life cycles. Blame it on the Hip Hop Culture. Blame it on fathers not being in the home. Blame it on mothers. Blame it on drugs. Blame it on gangs. Blame it on schools. Blame it on an unjust system. Blame it on the police. It doesn't matter. Our young boys of color are dying in the streets. Whether shot down by a bullet from the gun of a cop that doesn't value the lives of black boys. Or a young gansta' that doesn't value the life of black boys. Dead is dead. If you are the parent or guardian of a young male teen (especially young black males) that's influenced by urban culture, I highly recommend this book to help guide him through the trials and tribulations of transitioning from 'boyhood to manhood'. This book will do the one thing that parents and guardians want most of all...bring their sons home alive. This I can promise. This I can just about guarantee. I'm living proof of it.

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years," Mark Twain is rumored to have quipped. In "Dad Was Right" Brian David Floyd explores this common sentiment teenage sons often have towards their fathers, and the change of heart that comes once they too enter adult hood.In ten short chapters, Floyd conveys key life lessons his father taught him through funny and touching stories he recalls from his teenage years. Such lessons include the fact that hard work is a part of life...someday you'll actually need what they're teaching in school...why you must be smart when you have to fight....never being afraid to ask the prettiest girl to dance...and of course the importance of calling your grandmother. "Dad Was Right" is full of the wisdom fathers pass on to their sons, though it's often initially rejected. But ironically, it is these lessons sons will cleave to as they become adults and seek to pass on their children as well.
