A Blessing for all future and present Dad’s!

I wish I would have read this years ago...but as Jim Daly points out it’s never to late!

A must read for fathers & the fatherless.

This was a eye opening book for fathers and for the fatherless. Read it. It will change the way you see your past, and how you will push forward as a good dad.

Powerful example!

Jim’s story is very powerful. He uses his own experiences and biblical support to show what a “good dad” is and how to become one. This is a must read for fathers!

First time Dad

I was looking for some direction as to how I could raise my son up to be a child of God as my father was not a good example. This book provided that process along with stories in order to remind me my childhood was not unique but that does not have to be my son's childhood. I can break the curse and raise him up with love and a stern hand so that when he is grown he will not turn from the ways of the Lord.

Every dad should read this

An authentic reminder of God's plan for dads. Read it before you have kids and then read it again later. I have three kids under the age of 10 and wish I would have read this sooner. I'm thankful for the time I still have with them to strengthen the bonds.

The Best Dad... I can be.

I reflect on my parenting often. I make so many mistakes in so many moments. Listening to this book was one more in my effort to be better. I appreciate the way in which Daly uses his own experiences and some of others to connect to the lessons being broached in each chapter. The author is also extremely humble in his approach.

Thank you for another great tool toward my goal of being the best dad fory kiddos. I will definitely listen again in a couple years as we continue to grow and change together. They're 4 and 6, so I know I'll need to come back.

Religion Based Parenting

Great book for those who choose to use religion as a basis for parenting. Was hoping for more of a lessons learned and best practices for child rearing without the religious overtones.

Excellent across the board.

What a wonderful story of the grace of God in a man's life and those around that man.
Very useful indeed to a new father myself.
I'm sure to listen to it many times over the years
