J. Christopher Trice

J. Christopher Trice, known as Chris to many, is the author of Raising Them Boys: A Parenting Guide: Taking African American Males from Surviving to Excellence. A proud father and mentor, he draws deeply from his personal journey raising two sons and the lessons learned along the way. His experiences inspired him to provide parents—especially fathers—with guidance to raise strong, confident, and purpose-driven boys.

Published in 2024 by Curry Brothers Publishing, his debut book has been recognized as a timely and essential resource for African American families. Trice’s message is clear: strong boys build strong families, and strong families create thriving communities. By blending practical advice with lived experience, he offers a roadmap for parents who want their sons to move beyond survival and achieve excellence in every area of life.

Beyond his writing, Trice is committed to mentoring young men and encouraging fathers to take an active, hands-on role in their children’s growth. A Tennessee native and hardworking professional, he understands the values of discipline, accountability, and perseverance. His work continues to inspire families to see the extraordinary potential in their sons and to nurture them into future leaders for their homes, churches, and communities.

Parenting Investments

Like the stock market, parenting has its highs and lows. Some days bring growth and success; others bring challenges and setbacks. Yet, just as investors stay committed to their long-term goals, parents continue investing in their children day after day.

Even children raised under the same roof by the same parents are unique individuals. Each child has different strengths, needs, and personalities. The greatest return on our parenting investment comes when we recognize those differences and intentionally pour into each child according to who they are. Consistent, individualized investment today can yield lifelong rewards tomorrow.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6
