Preshift Building the Man before the moment

The PRESHIFT Series By David T. Harris The PRESHIFT Series is a formation-based book series written to prepare boys and young men for responsibility, pressure, and leadership before life demands answers. Rather than reacting to failure or correcting damage after the fact, the PRESHIFT Series focuses on preparation before pressure. Each book guides readers through essential stages of growth, helping them develop discipline, emotional strength, accountability, purpose, and long-term thinking. The series treats boys as builders in progress, not problems to be fixed. It avoids hype, shame, and quick solutions, offering instead calm, thoughtful guidance designed to grow with the reader over time. Each book stands on its own while contributing to a larger framework of intentional development. Written as chapter books rather than workbooks or manuals, the PRESHIFT Series encourages reflection, conversation, and steady application. Younger readers may grasp principles early, while older readers recognize their relevance through experience. The PRESHIFT Series exists to help boys build strong internal foundations so that manhood does not begin in reaction, regret, or crisis, but with clarity, discipline, and preparation. Because the moment will come. Preparation should come first.
