My buddy Glen Robinson challenged me to read this book with him and I am super-glad that I did! In the last two weeks, reading this book off and on, I’ve learned more about fathering than I think I’ve learned in my lifetime.

Sure I’ve learned a TON about fathering from watching my own father, but some of the Spiritual implications about fathering, and some of the practical fathering tips about becoming a new father were outlined in this book very well.

Each chapter is followed by a couple paragraphs of “practical” new-fathering tips - very useful, I’m sure to a new or soon-to-become father.

I’ve learned enough reading this book to be even MORE excited about one day being a father!

One of my favorite quotes, “Parenthood is a dimly lit, rough path with many rocks along the trail. If you are living in it well, you will never full feel competent, confident, or secure.”

To read that and STILL be excited about parenting, something must definitely be wrong with me, huh?! ( )

Not that I'm planning on becoming one soon, but a good quick read that will come in handy some day. ( )
