Basic Warrior Training

A boy doesn’t become a man by accident. It’s a long, difficult process that demands he adapt to a harsh environment, face challenges head-on, and resist acting recklessly. In fact, it’s a lot like becoming a United States Marine.

Basic Warrior Training follows a young man’s experience as he moves from being a civilian to being a Marine. After each story, his mentor identifies how these challenges of personal growth and spiritual maturity are essential in the journey to manhood.

This journey is not a solo one, and this book encourages fathers and mentors to go through the chapters with their young men. Each chapter ends with a manhood challenge and discussion questions that invite readers to establish their own principles and personalize their faith.

Becoming a Marine is tough. Becoming a man can be even tougher. When young males learn to combine self-discipline with God’s empowerment, they’ll find the key to developing their full potential as a man.
