It is important to understand that having a loving, engaged father of our own is not a prerequisite to our being one.
We all come to this life with a character and strength designed to enable us to overcome rough starts. Each of us can access that power through prayer to know how to bless our children’s lives.
We understand more than we think and the guidance of the Lord, who knows all, is our greatest assurance.
We are up to the task of fatherhood.
Over the course of my life I have taken the lessons I learned and incorporated them into my own life. With that in mind, I knew I wanted to write this book.
In reading and researching, I found that most books on fathers focus on the lives and experiences of famous men. Though valuable, I felt the need to introduce for discussion the lives, experiences, and efforts of every day fathers because, to their children, they are famous men.
