What a Son Needs From His Dad (Book Review)

Photobucket
No one can prepare a son for life better than his father. Dads are role models and this book encourages fathers to grow into the kind of men they want their sons to become.

What A Son Needs From His Dad:  How A Man Prepares His Sons for Life is a book written specifically to fathers about their role in the family and more specifically in the lives of their sons.  This book is a very easy read at only 141 pages and ten chapters.  Each chapter addresses areas that are important to instill in the life of a son such as character development, choosing friends, how to be productive and raising industrious sons who have a skill or trade they are good at.  The end of each chapter contains a "Thoughts and Discussions" section so your husband can spend some meditative time thinking about what he has read and how to put it into practice in everyday life with his sons.  

As a Mom, I will never be able to understand my son the way my husband can. I am thankful that my son will have a Godly father to look up to and share life with because he will be able to relate to him in ways I can't.  This book even equips the men in our lives to talk to their sons about hard topics like "the birds and the bees", how to treat women and eventually (hopefully) one day a wife, etc.  This book also reminds our husbands what "true" fatherhood is and encourages them to be the kind of father the Bible speaks about.  

This would be a wonderful book for any man who has a son because it not only reminds them about their role as the father but it helps show them how to develop a relationship with their son that will last for many years to come.  What A Son Needs From His Dad is available through Bethany House Publishers for just $9.99.

Sounds like a great book, Gretta. I'm becoming more and more aware of this as my boys get bigger (and that's why John is more involved w/ their homeschooling than ever before!).

I'm so thankful for a hubby who cares about these things - even if he never reads the book and I just tell him about it. :)

I always appreciate your reviews!!!
