About the Book

A boy doesn't become a man by accident. The truth is, it takes a special kind of father (or father-figure) to teach his son the practical wisdom he needs to build the mindset of a real man.

In his book, Manhood Is a Mindset, pastor and father J. Colin Trisler points his son to the example of Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, and instructs him in the fatherly wisdom Solomon taught his son in Proverbs 1-9.

His book is a text-driven exposition that follows Solomon's lead and reads as a personalized discourse--as a series of letters from a father to his son. Trisler wrote these letters to instruct his son in the wisdom he needs to grow into a man who is prepared to go out into the real world and earn a good life for himself.

He published these letters to support all those other fathers who are working just as hard to mold their inexperienced boys into strong and capable men who are prepared to meet their responsibilities to God, their families, their neighbors, and themselves.
