Synopsis :

"We believe Christian dads need to learn from God and need to hear from fathers who are living out the relationship." With that, fatherandson authors Kenn and Jeff Gangel launch this highly practical guide to fathering by learning from the attributes of the originalGod the Father. Exploring God's ways of communicating, forgiving, disciplining, and loving, the authors build a strong case for their conviction that fathering works best when patterned after the best. Their warm, readerfriendly style combines anecdotes from sports, popular culture, and personal experience. The result is a collection of useful, downtoearth insights into a role that was sent from heaven. Each chapter includes "Kenn's story" and "Jeff's story"fascinating and, at times, confessional vignettes fathers of all ages can identify withalong with helpful pointers called "Making It Work," questions for discussion, and suggestions to stimulate fatherchild dialogue. Fathering Like the Father will inspire any dad or study group interested in a better grip on what the authors label their "premier calling."
