'Lost Boys is not about giving us the answers; it is about challenging our paradigms. It is a brutally honest diagnosis of the health (moral, emotional, and spiritual) of our young men. Cindy's direct use of military language and situational analysis is clarifying and thought-provoking. Her work is well researched but annoying, in the best sense of the word. When you have finished reading this book, you will be unsettled and unsatisfied with how you are seeing and communicating with the young men in your life. On the other hand, you will pray for our lost boys more and judge them less. You may also find yourself listening to podcasts and watching YouTubers, whom she quotes. So go for it--read every word, but don't say I didn't warn you!' - Dave Brereton, CEO of Youth for Christ International 'Cindy identifies, highlights and encourages us to see the problems facing boys and to do something about it. I recommend this book and trust it engenders much conversation and solutions to build a better society by the way we raise our boys.' - Ian Shelton, Coordinator of Movement Day Australia 'This book is not so much a call to arms as it is a call for the Western church particularly to wake up and seize the opportunity and responsibility we have to become sharers in the shaping of the spiritual life and character of our young men. I highly recommend this book, particularly to those who are involved in the training, discipleship, and mentoring of our next generation of young men.' - Dr Peter Francis, Malyon College Principal, QLD
