Good Dad : Becoming The Father You Were Meant To Be
$18.99Add to cartIt’s never too late to be a better father Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood—in part because his own ‘fathers’ failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim’s life by the time he turned 13. Isn’t it odd—and reminiscent of the hand of God—that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up? Or could it be that successful parenting is discovered not in the perfect, peaceful household but in the midst of battles and messy situations, where God must constantly be called to the scene? That is the mystery unraveled in this book. Using his own expertise, humor, and inexhaustible wealth of stories, Jim will show you that God can make you a good dad, a great dad, in spite of the way you’ve grown up and in spite of the mistakes you’ve made. Maybe even because of them. It’s not about becoming a perfect father. It’s about trying to become a better father, each and every day. It’s about building relationships with your children through love, grace, patience, and fun—and helping them grow into the men and women they’re meant to be.

In today’s society, when a mother delivers a baby, majority of the time, she is honored with gifts and verbal congratulations while the father is invisible because he did not physically birth the baby. There are thousands of books, conferences, workshops, and trainings opportunities for mothers who have experienced divorce, miscarriages, and classes dedicated to educating women on how to be a parent for the first time. Unfortunately, there are not many learning tools for fathers.

This book delves deep into topics such as:
* Fathers supporting their children’s education
* The importance of a father’s presence in the home and community
* Fathers dealing with their past issues
* Fathers building a bridge to reconcile with their children

Booty No More
$15.49Add to cartThe American Church is not doing well. And what is worse, if the statistics hold up, the next generation will be in far worse shape spiritually then our own. Children from Evangelical homes are departing from the faith as they enter adulthood at a very, very, very high and alarming rate. Christian parents, who love the Lord, and love their kids, are struggling to impart their precious faith to their precious children. This is not a new problem. From the time God placed the very first family on this planet, the struggle for generational faithfulness began. Today in the West, though, we are experiencing this failure in epidemic proportions. But, there is hope! God is ALL POWERFUL, and His Word is Perfect. If we Christians can wrap our minds around that reality, we can by the Grace of God reverse the dreadful defection from the faith that Modern American Evangelicals are battling against. This book looks to give Biblical insights into Family, Church, and Cultural problems that Christians face today. May it be a blessing to both the Lord and to you. Ron Larsen presents an eye-opening book to parents on the relationship of our children to the family, to culture, to school, and to the church. Parents who are serious about rooting their children in the faith would do well to read this book. Kevin Swanson Author, Speaker, and host of Generations Radio This book is a manifesto for parents, particularly fathers, on what it will take to stem the awful tide of defection from the faith. It is a plea to fathers to turn their hearts to the home and their children before it is too late. It rebukes the laziness of so many in turning over their most important duty to the church.

Daddy Dates : Four Daughters One Clueless Dad And His Quest To Win Their He
$19.99Add to cartOne day motivational leader Greg Wright realized that the four set of pretty young eyes under his own roof were looking to Dad to be strong, fearless, and wise.
The reality was, the lone male in an all-girl household (“heck, even the dog was female”) was only thirty years old and felt like he had been shoved into the deep end of the estrogen pool without swimming lessons.
That’s when the love-struck father of four gorgeous pre-teens started searching for a plan for how to be a successful Dad, and did what any sensible guy would do. He bailed. Not only on his family, but into the woods, to seek a “solution.”
Daddy Dates is an entertaining and practical look at how one American father found his sea legs and is navigating through the tricky waters of parenting girls. In this game-changing book, Greg shares his easy-to-follow secrets for how married and single dads can go beyond high-fiving to bridge the gender gap and become the clued-in man who knows his daughter best.
Dads have more influence on their girls than anyone. Learn what makes your daughter tick, how to talk to her effectively and connect more profoundly, at any age.
If being their hero is your mission, it’s not impossible. Daddy Dates is your road map to get there.
“Hi honey. It’s Daddy. I’m calling to see if you’d like to go on a date with me tonight.”
“Um, yes, Daddy I think I would.”
It’s a phone call Greg Wright has made over and over again. By age thirty, Greg was the overwhelmed father of four beautiful little girls, with one thought running through his mind over and over again: Don’t Screw Up.
Daddy Dates is about a guy taking his best shot at being a successful dad by trying to know his girls-really know their fears, dreams, and opinions-and how he stumbled across an incredible strategy to do that with daughters of any age or stage. This funny, insightful, and relatable book poses the wildly original concept that should be a “duh” for most dads-but isn’t. In order to raise a confident woman-to-be, show your daughter what it feels like to be treated with love, respect, and true interest by a man who loves her.
Daddy Dates is not another “how to” book from a parenting expert. It’s a personal, eye-opening, often humorous look at an Average Joe’s intentional pursuit of his daughter’s hearts and minds, and the love-inspired steps he is taking to solidify Dad’s place in each of their lives, forever.

All Pro Dad
$19.99Add to cartGentlemen, this is a football, Vince Lombardi famously told his players at the beginning of each season. Just as knowing the fundamentals of football is the key to a player becoming an All-Pro, knowing the fundamentals of fatherhood is the key to a father becoming an All Pro Dad. The most important fundamental of fatherhood starts with one word-love. Love isn’t weak; it’s strong. If a father wants to lead well in his home, he must expand his capacity to love. All Pro Dad is a journey with Mark Merrill-husband of more than 20 years, father of five children, and the president of Family First. Mark’s journey includes exclusive, one-on-one, in-depth interviews with approximately 20 well-recognized leaders who share their personal stories and wisdom. These influential leaders understand the “7 M’s”-Makeup, Master, Mission, Message, Motive, Method, and Model-that each man must know about himself to truly love and lead his family. This journey and exploration is for parents, especially fathers, who want to lead and love their families and need practical ways to do so.

Father Hunger : Why God Calls Men To Love And Lead Their Families
$19.99Add to cartWe live in a culture in which absentee fatherhood is the norm. Pastor and parenting authority Douglas Wilson brings a powerful message about its true costs to our families and society and encourages men to be the fathers God calls them to be. When we hear the word fatherless, our minds usually turn to orphans, to children who have lost their fathers to tragic accidents. For most of us, that seems to be a problem outside our own families, a painful reality with which others must deal. “Not so,” says Douglas Wilson. “Most of our families are starving for fathers, even if Dad is around, and there’s a huge cost to our children and our society because of it.” Why Fathers Really Matter is a thoughtful and timely excursion into our culture of fatherlessness, what Wilson calls “the central malady of our time.” Central because it is the cause of so many of the ills we face-everything from atheism and crime to joyless feminism and paternalistic government expansion-but most important because of the effect it has on families, children, wives, and husbands. Bottom line: when fathers are checked out, left out, or ruled out, it hurts literally everyone.
We need our fathers, and all too often they are nowhere present. Indispensible Dad has one basic goal: to encourage and empower men to be the fathers that God calls them to be and that their families and culture desperately need them to be.

This book is a wake-up call to men and women, challenging them to understand the crisis of fatherlessness in the world and to examine its impact on our culture and in individual lives.

40 Letters To A New Dad
$9.95Add to cartBecoming a new father can be an overwhelming experience. Suddenly, there is this new life looking to you for protection, provision, and guidance. It can be difficult to know where to begin. Often new fathers look to their own fathers or other elders for counsel and direction as they take on their new lifelong role.
In Forty Letters to a New Dad, Steven Molin reflects in his letters on the wonder of fatherhood as he shares stories and insights from his own parental experience with his son who has recently become a father. As he explores the fathering experience in such letters as ?Reflecting On A Miracle,? ?The Fear Of Parenting,? and ?Now You Know About Unconditional Love,? there is the realization that, as Christians, we have a heavenly Father to which we can look for our example. God loves us more than any father could ever love his child, giving us a model for how fathers should love their own children.
Forty Letters to a New Dad is a perfect gift for men taking their first steps on their journey of fatherhood, assuring them that they are not alone as God walks with them on this wonderfully petrifying and terrifyingly glorious experience of being a new dad.

As much as it may distress us, our boys are future men. When Theodore Roosevelt taught Sunday school for a time, a boy showed up one Sunday with a black eye. He admitted he had been fighting and on a Sunday too. He told the future president that a bigger boy had been pinching his sister, and so he fought him. TR told him that he had done perfectly right and gave him a dollar. The stodgy vestrymen thought this was a bit much, and so they let their exuberant Sunday school teacher go. What a loss.Unbelief cannot look past surfaces. Unbelief squashes; faith teaches. Faith takes a boy aside and tells him that this part of what he did was good, while that other part of what he did got in the way. “And this is how to do it better next time.”
As we look to Scripture for patterns of masculinity for our sons, we find them manifested perfectly in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the one who set the ultimate pattern for friendship, for courage, for faithfulness, and integrity.
