Dad's Diary: 30 Days to Being a Better Dad

Rating:
Summary: mandatory reading for new dad's
Review: This book by Ron Rose is a must read for all new or soon to be Dad's. Each of the 30 chapters is broken down in to four sections 1) a bible verse 2)an up to date story which reflects on the verse 3) a sample letter a fictional father might write to their child and 4) 2 pages for your reflections to journal concrete ways to make a difference in your children's lives. What I enjoyed most is that it takes very little time each day and is very easy but meaningful reading. Some of the topics include:overcoming deficiencies, giving undeserved love, nuturing your child's faith and controlling one's anger. I initially thought that this would be a book that I would read and then never go back to, but as a father of three now, I go back and review my journal notes at least twice a month! This is the one present I always buy for my first time father friends!
