The Forgotten Son: Restoring Honour To The Boy Child
THE FORGOTTEN SON: Restoring Honour to the Boy Child
By Helen Bossa
While the empowerment of the girl child has been rightly celebrated, a quiet crisis has emerged, an entire generation of boys is growing up unseen, unheard, and unsupported. The Forgotten Son shines a light on this overlooked truth and offers a compelling call to action.
Drawing from her background as a trained social worker and passionate advocate, Helen Bossa unveils the hidden struggles boys face across the UK, Africa, and beyond. Through powerful research, real-life stories, and faith-filled insight, she explores the challenges modern boys are navigating, absent fathers, mental health battles, educational inequality, trauma, and the confusion surrounding masculinity in today's world.
Inside, you'll discover:
The lasting impact of fatherlessness and how mentorship can fill the gap
Why boys from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds face higher barriers in education and the justice system
Biblical truths about the identity and purpose of boys
Practical guidance for parents, teachers, mentors, and faith leaders
Stories of boys who rose above adversity to walk in purpose and strength
This is not just a book about problems, it's a blueprint for healing, restoration, and transformation. If you care about the next generation, The Forgotten Son will move you, challenge you, and equip you to be part of the solution.
Supporting boys doesn't take anything away from girls. It builds stronger families, healthier communities, and a more just society for all.
Perfect for readers of Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph and anyone passionate about child welfare, education, social justice, or faith-led advocacy.
It's time to remember the forgotten. It's time to restore honour to the boy child.
