Summary: I bought it and was dissapointed
Review: After reading the reviews I thought this would be a good guide book with structured information, and one life lesson per page. I found out today that its about the size of a ciggarette box. It has one sentence per page!. Exampel thinks like "Eat Breakfast with him", and thats all thers is on that page! "Teach him not to hurt others" is another page.Sure many are good ideas, another page just says "Let him fail". Things like be his father not his friend or you can't dicipline him I disagree with. And "Teach him God answers all prayers, sometimes with a no" That I found really off the mark. So thinking I was getting a book about fatherhood and with important life lessons, as you can imagine, I am bitterly dissapointed. Don't make the same mistake I made. I read the 5 star rating, in reality these rewievs must all have been written by the authors friends or something, I really hope that there are not people out there that think they need a book like this. Sorry for the bad news, perhaps it makes a nice present for a joke, or mabye some good old spiritual folk are into it. But "Teach him God can be trusted", "Teach him to treat each day as holy" and more comments like that make me wonder if after I read the book I have been converted to some religious cult! Yes Religion and God are important, but I believe a child should grow up learning about all religions and beliefs and have a broadned view. It also strikes me as strange that the book has a large section on religion and god, as it was written by a Texan. Don't they disobey the first commandment down there?

Summary: Mother of sons
Review: Gave this book to my husband for Father's Day.
My sons and husband all loved it. Read it aloud to each other
and laughed a lot. True, true sayings!
This is fun, easy to read wisdom for fathers
of sons of all ages. I'm buying more of this book
for first time dads of boys.

Summary: Food for the soul
Review: Great Book- This book is what you will want to keep on hand or preserve in a treasure box to give to your son for guidance through his years of parenting. Simple, one-liners that touch the heart.

Summary: cute but not much more
Review: I don't want to trash this book. It's cute and kind. I think it would make a good gift for a certain kind of father-to-be. But I agree with the reviewer from Philadelphia. We also need stronger, deeper books that speak of the true challenge and meaning of fatherhood. Would you rather read a chapter telling you to teach your son how to eat an Oreo or a chapter about helping your son shape his own spiritual journey? If you believe the latter is more important, you should get Nerburn's Letters to My Son. I read this book years ago and I still give it to fathers who are searching for ways to bring their sons to a meaningful manhood -- and to women whose sons have no fathers in their lives. So, give Father to Son to parents as a kind gift of the "oh, isn't this cute" sort. Give Letters to My Son to parents who are deeply concerned about raising good sons. Both kinds of books have their place. Just don't confuse the cute with the profound.

Summary: Great for Father's Day!
Review: I gave one to my husband for Father's Day. It has so many great pieces of advice in it. Some he showed me he [proudly] already does, and others he marked the pages to make sure he does them with our sons some time in the future. A great little "handbook."

Summary: A great gift for dad, but a must-read for moms first!
Review: I gave this book to my husband the day our son was born. I think he enjoyed the inscription inside the front cover that I wrote the most, but he did enjoy the book also. It is humorous as well as touching. It also gives great advice for the harder situations to deal with. I think this is a must read for a mother who is having her first son. I got a lot out of this book that is probably second nature to my husband.
