      PREFACE

      Nothing blesses a man like being a dad. Fatherhood stretches him further beyond himself than he ever thought he could go. It requires more wisdom, selflessness, and constant devotion than any j ob or hobby might need. Doing it right is a lifetime adventure.

      To meet those challenges, every earthly father needs help from the heavenly Father. He's the best Dad of all time (and beyond time), and He longs for you to let Him guide the lives of you and your children. So let Him.

      A father's best guide for life is found in God's Word. Let these scriptures and insights help you connect with the One who will be with you and your family every step of the way.
