Time for the Talk: Leading Your Son into True Manhood

“A comprehensive guide to a most significant father-son conversation, Time for The Talkoffers sound practical guidance rooted in biblical wisdom. Zollos provides dads with every detail essential to a genuinely biblical conversation with their sons about sex. As a father of two boys and a counselor, I find this book to be a helpful and needed resource!”– Jeremy Lelek, MA, President, Association of Biblical Counselors

“Steve Zollos has provided a valuable service to fathers and their sons. Anticipation of ‘the talk‘ may terrify fathers. Be terrified no more! This book provides you with the tools you need to carry on this conversation, and to talk in everyday, practical language. Steve has plowed the ground for you. The book covers all facets of the journey to biblical manhood. It is a rich treasure of information framed in a biblical perspective. Sexual activity is an area that the world has claimed for itself. This book will help you reclaim this area for the glory of God. Time for the Talk is practical, helpful, biblical and real. When it comes to discussing human sexuality, Steve Zollos gets it right, and with his help you and your son will too.”– John Younts, author of Everyday Talk

“This book is about bigger fish than the ‘sex talk.’ It clearly, majorly, and practically includes that huge fish. But it’s about how a dad (or mom) can have personal, intimate conversations with young sons about the rich relationships Christ wants them to have with Himself, their dad, with girls, young women and with the world at large. Steve Zollos outlines serious topics about which the world does not hesitate to mis-counsel our children and youth—but always in a way that can communicate parental humility, respect their young adulthood, and that can woo their son’s openness. Steve does not write as a young youth pastor with nave advice to parents. The wisdom of maturity in marriage and ministry and his openness about his own failures and successes with his four sons makes his counsel especially valuable for parents of young children and teens.”

“According to researchers over 60% of boys from Christian homes never receive ‘The Talk‘. Many dads want to have ‘The Talk‘ but feel so ill–equipped that they never get to it. Dads (and Moms) Steve Zollos has come to your rescue. This book is comprehensive, insightful, biblical, gospel centered and above all doable.”
