Series: The Book of Man

According to William Bennett, the Latin term for father is “pater,” which means “the one who shows up and takes responsibility.”

William Bennett, a father of two sons and author of the book, “The Book of Man,” reminds listeners that boys are moral and spiritual beings, and if we forget this, we’ve lost the key to raising and educating them.

A boy without a father is like an explorer without a map. William Bennett, former Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan, addresses manhood in today’s culture and reflects on his own boyhood and the men who influenced him.
