Man to Man

This book is filled with insight into the father & son relationship. At a time where society doesn't seem to value fathers, this book will totally change your perspective. All kids want their fathers to be proud of them & love them - it is one of the major motivations in their life. This book makes these often hidden motivations visible, and explains what can happen when fathers are emotionally distant, physically absent or even abusive. Written from a biblical perspective to illustrate key points, this book is vital for the fathers of sons to read by the time their son is 3 years old. Be sure to get the 2nd edition. Unfortunately the book is out of print, but there are plenty of used copies & the author is very active (you should be able to contact him in California easily).
