Boy Into Man: A Fathers' Guide to Initaiation of Teenage Sons

If you're looking for information about how to perform a coming-of-age ceremony, this is a great place to begin. The author performed such a ceremony, with other men of boys in the same class at school, and writes in great detail about how they prepared for the weekend, comments about how each part of it went and what they might change if they were to do it over, and includes scripts from the various rituals they performed. I ordered it for my husband, and he has found it very useful as he and other fathers create their own ceremony. It is a slim volume, but it's packed with very good information. Highly recommended.
