Conclusion

This book is not for every father. It's for craftsmen.

Good craftsmen love what they do but they're also aware of their need to improve.  They're not insecure, they are eager to grow in their craft. They continually refine their tools and methods and even their tastes.

He is not asleep at the wheel of fatherhood. His sphere of influence goes much farther than the remote. He lives with his wife in understanding. He considers the needs of his kids and his wife and bleeds for them.

He wakes up early, he is up late with sick kids, his work blesses many, he sings loud, and he reads aloud long after dinner.

This book is for every father who wants to be a good dad.

All of Christ for All of Life

Books to live the Christian life out your fingertips, deal with sin, and feed your Christian imagination.
