"This book helped me connect with my son on so many levels! We both loved this time together and for sure grew in our faith!"
My 11 year old son and I thought this was a great book! It inspired some deep conversations we hadn’t had before, we discovered some new things about his personality, we discussed some challenges he’s currently facing and will face as he matures, and we learned a lot about some relatable saints too! This is a wonderful tool to have to help guide my son into puberty and adulthood.

What a fantastic book. I loved it! I like how basic you keep the video game terminology and explain it well. This will be a great tool for boy moms whose kids play video games. It can also work for dads that are comfortable with the puberty side of things, but it feels like moms would have an easier time with this book.
