Review
Flight Plan by Lee Burns and Braxton Brady is a very well-written book with general guidelines on how to pursue the life of a righteous man; how building boys, making men and helping with that process will guide to a fuller life.
The authors try to cover most of the common problems facing a teenager boy, the choices he must make to be “accepted” by his peers. Furthermore, they propose a given scenario to inquire about which would be the correct course of action for that particular situation.
Those conditions vary from peer demand to myths we should not believe, the search of a real friend, values we should develop, problems related to drinking, drugs, and pornography, and also sex.
In Flight Plan by Lee Burns and Braxton Brady, the authors discuss every situation and propose the proper course of action.
After every chapter, there is a set of “Questions for Reflection and Discussion” to help with building boys, making men.
In a total of eleven chapters, it is impossible to avoid comparing this book with a real flight plan.
An excellent reading for a young boy, this work is also great for grown-up readers, because it is never too late to take control and change course. I surely would have appreciated it if this book had been available many years ago.
The publishers were kind enough to send me a copy for reviewing through their blogger book review program.
