For centuries, men in most cultures knew they had a sacred responsibility to guide the boys of their community into healthy manhood. This practice is largely unknown in our own culture. Most men intuitively know they want to pass on some significant teaching about masculinity to their boys, but they have no idea what. This book is truly a gift to those boys, their dads, and our culture.

Man Maker Project is a stunning work. It is a feast of narratives that prove the struggle into manhood is not only worth it, but can display the kindness of God. This is a meaty feast, worthy of all men and fledgling men.

Jan Meyers Proett, author of The Allure of Hope

The day was very impactful. The power and openness was shocking to me given the short time I had to engage with the other guys! I loved it!

This book articulates the vision, purpose, result and strategy of ushering sons to mature masculinity. It is skillfully and thoughtfully written, encouraging and challenging. If father's heed and invest in their sons in the manner detailed in this book, the world will certainly change for the better. If you are a father of sons, read and beware. You will be transformed!

Bring your son, bring your friends and their sons, and bring your heart. Don't miss this opportunity to see all of these enriched at once.

Bruno does not give a cheap, easy, cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, he dives deeply and honestly into the fundamental traits the masculine heart was designed to bring to his world and also how to usher young men into the space of restorative, responsible masculinity. While he gives incredible advice, encouragement and numerous tools to help you understand and usher your son into manhood, it is not prescriptive in nature, which makes it usable by any father or father figure.

You have to go on Base Camp! It's a wonderful opportunity to invest in your son. You just have to show up and be open and the RP team will help you take it from there. Man Maker Project has the best framework I've seen for dads and sons and it's not overwhelming, yet simultaneously rich.

Base Camp Participant, 2016

You will be enlightened, inspired, and connected to God's powerful plan for you as a father. I'm excited for the many sons who will become men of God through the influence of this important work.

Bob Hudson, Founder and Director of Men at the Cross Ministries

It was a truly beautiful Base Camp weekend for us as a father and son. My son enjoyed the activities and meeting the other boys, but he got to SEE and HEAR other fathers with their sons. I was pleased he embraced the content of the weekend and earned his key. The Base Camp weekend established a framework between us- my son knows that I have intentional plans for him, he knows I’m here for him, and he’s begun to assemble the many pieces of Man Maker. This weekend was a very rich first step for us on this amazing journey. Thank you!

I'm buying a box of Man Maker Project and giving copies to all my colleagues. I'm also putting this book to practice in my work as a jail chaplain and with the young men I pastor out of crime, and mailing copies to guys I love still sitting in their prison cells.

This experience has been incredible. Restoration Project created the space for me to spend intentional time with my son and speak into his life in ways that I most likely would not have done on my own. Being in "the company of men" in the wilderness, unplugged, was an experience that will live on in my life and my son's.

My husband and I have really pulled a lot of great insight from this book. We have 3 boys and this book covers so many various situations so it's applicable to each of them in individually. A GREAT resource for parents to boys! Highly recommend.

Amazon Book Reviewer of Man Maker Project

Be prepared to be challenged to grow in your own idea of what it means to be a man, to draw closer to God and your son, and to be filled with awe and wonder at God's creation and the miraculous way He uses fathers to help turn boys into men of valor and courage.

Back Country Participant, 2016

What a phenomenal experience! The time was so very meaningful for my son and me as he took meaningful steps forward in his journey to manhood. We made some great memories and laid some wonderful foundational blocks for him to step forward. Such a great bonding time. Overall, a wonderful time.

Fantastic discussion and roadmap for addressing the critical elements of being a man.

Amazon Book Reviewer of Man Maker Project

From incarceration to abuse to just plain missed opportunities, so many boys in our country become 'chronological men' who never arrive at manhood. Chris Bruno has given us the kind of book to carry into the terrain where boys become men. This book is for fathers, mentors, grandfathers, teachers, and anyone who cares about even just one boy.
