“This book is the blueprint that can impact the social, moral and ethical well-being of young men as a whole. Through this book the young men will ultimately build their character, their self-worth and their overall external relationships with the world and society.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 2021 – It’s not easy growing up in today’s culture. In addition to the regular challenges and pressures of growing up and learning how to navigate life, career and move in into adulthood successfully; our children are also facing numerous epidemics including loneliness, mental health struggles, pornography, and addiction.
In their new book, Navigating Minefields: A Young Man’s Blueprint for Success on Life’s Battlefield (October 11, 2021), Victoria Duerstock and Bethany Jett use their experience as boy moms to help young men of all ages and stages of life find their God-given identity and equip them with tools necessary to fight life’s battles.
“From anger to laziness, dating to sex, work ethic and diligence, we cover a wide berth of subjects that we as parents long for our sons to listen and understand,” says Victoria Duerstock. “Our goal is to share what we’ve learned with other families and that resource will equip and inspire young men at this pivotal time in their lives.”
Duerstock and Jett, who have both raised sons, share a wealth of practical life lessons that will encourage young men crossing over into the world of adulthood. Written in a format boys will find engaging and easy to read, Navigating Minefields is filled with inspirational thoughts, quotes and applicable life lessons that will make the perfect gift for any young man.
Duerstock and Jett are available for interviews and can speak to:
- The mother’s heart: how to navigate healthy relationships with your sons
- 4 keys to helping young men control their aggression
- The importance of teaching your child to apologize
- The 3 villains of leadership for men
- Seasoned advice for navigating dating relationships in a digital world
- 5 practical ways to deal with temptation and lust
- Tips for understanding time management and staying focused on goals
“Navigating Minefields is all of the life advice you want your sons to have, but kids don’t always listen to parents the first…or second…or fiftieth time,” says Bethany Jett. “We want to come in and layer this message onto the wisdom parents have already bestowed. Sometimes having another voice helps things ‘click’.”
