Big Markdown on Kindle Book on Raising Sons

With Fathers' Day approaching, we are seeing price drops on a lot of books about fathers and their children.

I'm posting this ebook in the "Christian Interest" thread, instead of the "Non-fiction" thread, because of its references to, and reliance on, Biblical principles and passages.

Book Description
The Two-Minute Drill to Manhood: A Proven Game Plan for Raising Sons. By John Croyle. Rated 5 stars, from 12 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $14.99; Kindle price now $0.99. http://www.amazon.com/Two-Minute-Dri...r+Raising+Sons.

If you are the parent of a teenager, you are coming down to what former All-American and one of today's most respected child advocates John Croyle calls the two-minute drill. In football the last two minutes are crucial; the whole game builds to those moments that can determine the final outcome.

The Two-Minute Drill to Manhood is John's game plan that will help moms and dads make sure their sons are ready for authentic manhood. Based on Croyle's life and experience parenting more than 1,800 troubled, abused, and neglected children on the Big Oak Ranch for Boys and Girls, as well as parenting his two biological children, he drills down into seven actionable life principles drawn from the word "manhood" itself:

M – Master
A – Ask and Listen
N – Never Compromise
H – Handle Responsibility
O – One Purpose
O – One Body
D – Don’t Ever, Ever, Ever Give Up


Editorial Reviews [Abridged]
“Since 2007, my wife and I have been supporting the children of Big Oak Ranch through Nick's Kids Fund. We believe that this proven game plan for raising sons will help us all be better parents. We encourage you to add this book to your reading list … it works!”
Nick Saban
Head Football Coach, The University of Alabama

“I have met many of the children at Big Oak Ranch and this game plan for raising sons really works. This book,
The-Two Minute Drill to Manhood, will help all of us be better parents as we strive to build our sons into great men.”
Bo Jackson
Heisman Trophy winner 1985 and former NFL and MLB Legend

"Having been personally involved with Big Oak Ranch for nearly 30 years, I have seen first-hand the fruit of changed lives of young people who live there. This
Two-Minute Drill to Manhood is a must-read for every parent raising a son."
Bobby Allison
NASCAR Hall of Fame Inductee

“There is no doubt that one of the biggest voids in today’s culture is the lack of a Godly influence in the family as parents raise their sons. The
Two-Minute Drill to Manhood by John Croyle addresses this issue in a very practical way. A must-read for all Moms and Dads.”
Tommy Bowden
ESPN Analyst and college football coach for 32 years


About the Author
John Croyle rose to recognition as an All-American defensive end at the University of Alabama during head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's legendary tenure. Faced with the decision to play professional football or to start a home for abused and neglected children, John established Big Oak Boys' Ranch in 1974. Today the outreach has grown to three branches with the addition of a girls ranch and a Christian school. John, his wife Tee, and the Big Oak organization have raised more than 1,800 kids to date.
