Why the Sentinel

Falling into a bear pit hurts just as much whether done unknowingly or deliberately.

Few would deliberately fall off into a bear pit. This book shared from father to son can help avoid the unforeseen bear pits.

It is good for a man to take his son through the woods and show him the things he must know.

This applies to the forest of living in today's world just as much as it did for the early American fathers of 1650 who had to teach everything about living to their sons.

This book is to help fathers guide sons through the maze of school years and work years

so they won't fall into a bear pit.

Hopefully the information gained will help some come out unscathed by the whirlpools of social peer pressure and pitfalls of temptations, especially through the junior high years; but to be prepared it is well to have begun long before. It's hard to teach a man how to run while he's having to run for his life. It's hard to teach a man how to fight when he's in the fight of his life.

These things have to be learned before if you want best results.

Landel Bilbrey has given you a tool for leading your son into good things worth knowing.

A guide and a lamp for major points of the compass so a boy can find his direction into manhood.

Fathers, take time to tell stories for your son. Here is one. Hopefully you can learn from it and enlarge upon it with more of your own.

No story is perfect and no story teller is perfect but Jesus. All that being said, as we look to Jesus to be with us and help, we can do our best to help our children with good stories; or we can just say I'm too busy, too tired, he'll just have to learn on his own.

Fathers, I point you to the last three verses of the last chapter of the last book of the Old Testament. Turn your hearts towards your sons, and give them all the light they need for we live in perilous times and worsening by the year.

Here is a book to help a father tell a worthwhile and learning story to his son. Take advantage of it while you can. Your boy will soon leave home. A boy is the only thing God can use to make a man. It takes a father's help. Will you let the eternal father work through your faith and love to help your boy? Then buy the book, and take time to read it with your boy. Explaining it and talking as you go.

A story of adventure and excitement with challenges that define life and how we live.

A story to be built upon by dads who care.

Dads, spend time with your children. And God bless you as you do. Have faith. He will!
