Raise Sons

Raise Sons is a compelling book by Men Of Honor founder, Tony Rorie, that communicates the beginning and central essence of the Men Of Honor program. Readers will be inspired and motivated to reach the next generation!

Excerpts:

"Like the arrow, young men must first be guided in a process of refining. They must be corrected and instructed but most of all, they must be affirmed! We can be so instrumental in turning and truing their lives for max fight. Secondly, they must be released at their target. We have to create opportunities for young men to assert themselves and win."

"There are many princes living as frogs, many sons living as prodigals. It's up to us to call them out of the dark and into the light. What a difference a little time and attention can make. There is a "fathering" spirit that God can give us if we ask. It is His desire. What the world needs most at this time is Fathers. 1st Corinthians 4:15 "For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many Fathers." Fathers are what is most lacking; Fathers are what is most needed. If not you, who? If not now, when?"

"Unfortunately, true manhood and masculinity is caught not taught. And as a result, true manhood can only be passed to a young man, by a man. In our culture, often times single mothers have been left with the daunting task of raising sons without the benefit of a true man to serve as father. As a result, boys are being taught how to be strong women. These single parent homes, though taxed beyond measure to do right, will ultimately fail to true men without the presence of surrogate fathers."

The Quest

The Quest by Tony Rorie chronicles, in story format, how young men become knights. The Quest will motivate and instruct men and young men to become an example of chivalry, honor, and integrity.

Excerpts:

"If you listen very intently, I mean, if you block out all the noise that is blaring around you; the noise of every voice that is calling your name, vying for your attention, screaming for your affection and interests, you will hear the still, small voice speaking to your heart of hearts saying "Be strong, Be great, Be a knight, Be a Man!" Every woman is looking for a "knight in shining armor." Every man is looking for an example of courageous manhood."

"Entering the far side of the village was a man on a beautiful white horse. The man was wearing a dazzling suit of silver armor! His armor reflected the sun like a mirror and shone brightly all over. It looked as though he was glowing. People everywhere were stopping their business to see this amazing sight. Tom had heard of knights in stories and even dreamed of seeing one, but he had never seen an actual knight! A solemn hush fell over the crowd and people began to move in reverent respect out of the path of the knight. Tom's heart began to pound as he reached for his father. " Dad, an actual knight!"

"God's plan is for you to be a man. The man he designed you to be. He designed you to be man of strength, a strong leader. His plan includes you making a decision to cut away the old childish ways that you used to live and become something greater; A Man of Honor"

"Its is impossible not to see beautiful girls. The first time they cross your vision, there is nothing you can do about it. Immediately your mind will say , Wow! Did you see that? But the trouble begins when your mind says. "look back at her again" here is where you have a choice. You can look again and start the lust engine or you can make a promise, like Job did, and not look a second time."
