A Guy's Guide To Life, by Jason Boyett

A Guy's Guide to Life: how to become a man in 224 pages or less, by Jason Boyett is the second edition to this project aimed at teenage males who may not have an older male role model from whom to glean the basic 'life advice' found in this book.

Covering topics such as hygiene, friends, girls, fitness, puberty, and of course sex, A Guys Guide To Life is filled with plenty of need-to-knows for growing boys. Writing with a matter-of-fact style, Boyett gives straight talk to mid-teen pubescent boys on how to handle all that life is about to throw them.

Any teen with a level head on his shoulders would do well to heed the advice given in this book. It's common sense from a practical perspective. The problem: I haven't yet met a 15-year old boy with a level head.

There's a repeated verse throughout the book of Revelation that says, "Let him who has an ear to hear, hear." My worry about this book is that it's audience will not have any ears to hear.

The book is generally a good thing. Though I hope that every teenager can gain this wisdom from other sources. I can see it being helpful for youth leaders and the like.

It's super easy to read and sprinkled with a fair portion of humor. I won't be recommending it hardly ever; however, there may come a time when I'd give a copy to a teenager who has questions and nobody to answer them.
