Book Description
It’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.

Have you ever looked at your precious but squirrely child in awe? Have you ever stood in awe of their innocence, in awe of their wonder, or in awe of their curiosity of seeing the world for the first time? Or have you ever just stood there and stared at their little face, just mesmerized by their beauty and adorableness, vowing to protect them from the world, including their future self? Have you ever had to correct your child out of love, and it really did hurt you more than them? Have you ever provided and sacrificed for them, so they would not go without? Of course, we have, and it is because that is God's nature to love, adore, protect, and provide for us""His children. Not only does He look at us in adoration and through the eyes of love, protection, and provision, but also, He went a step further. He gave us an inheritance. He left us a legacy to follow. He gave us His parental DNA to love, adore, protect, and provide for our children and for all His children all around the world.

A new heart saved her life—but will it help her find out what really happened to its donor? From the New York Times bestselling author of the Shadow Falls series comes C. C. Hunter's This Heart of Mine: a haunting, poignant tale about living and dying, surviving grief, guilt, and heartache, while discovering love and hope in the midst of sadness.

Book Description
A Father for Our Father The Foundation for a Flourishing Family We are losing the battle for our children!! Family is no longer defined as father, mother, and child and this trend must stop!! "Dysfunction" is the buzzword describing our families. Rather than fight this trend, we are accepting it. The cultural shift from a God-fearing, family-oriented society has forced our children to fend for themselves. Our children are depending on us to do the right thing and, frankly, they deserve better than we are giving them. Consider the facts: - 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes - 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes - 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes These are just a few of the shocking statistics linked to the impact of a missing father in the lives of our children. In A Father for Our Father, we will discover how the "Lord's Prayer" is more than an outline for prayer but also an outline for establishing a flourishing family. While this book is written with men in mind, women will discover the vital role they play in facilitating the changes necessary for men to become who they were created to be. And young men will find help defining their future roles as well. We will discuss the reference, the motivation, the role, and the calling that is unique to men, and clearly identify their responsibilities. Join me in discovering the power and influence that only you possess. We can restore our families! We can reverse this trend! Learn what it means to be A Father for Our Father!
