The anticipation and excitement of receiving the Aaronic Priesthood and being ordained a deacon at age twelve dominates the thoughts of Latter-day Saint boys. Between the ages of twelve and nineteen, each young man makes many crucial decisions—often daily—that will set the direction for his adult years in mortality and even into the eternities.

In From Deacon to Man of God, author Rulon Dean Skinner offers timely advice garnered from decades of serving young men through scouting and a variety of Church callings.

Brother Skinner addresses such topics as the challenges of puberty, listening to and following the Spirit, repentance, forgiveness, and much more. Young men will find advice that will help them grow into prepared missionaries, good husbands, and wonderful fathers.
