After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade
in the SEAL Teams, his family was more than used to his absence on
deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for
months at a time.
Without a father figure in his own life since the age of fifteen, Eric
was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when
his children were young--particularly with his son, Jason, because he
knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on
one's own. Unfortunately, Eric learned the hard way that Quality Time
doesn't always show up in Quantity Time.
Facebook, television, phones, video games, school, jobs, friends--they
all got in the way of a real, meaningful father-son relationship. It was
time to take action.
As a SEAL, Eric learned to innovate and push boundaries, allowing him to
function at levels beyond what was expected, comfortable, ordinary, and
even imaginable, and he knew that as a father he needed to do the same
with his son. Meeting extreme with extreme was the only answer.
In Raising Men, Eric and his SEAL brothers will use a unique blend of
discipline, leadership, adventure, and grace to teach you how to
connect, and reconnect, with your sons and learn how to raise real
men--the Navy SEAL way.
