Great book!

This is a great book full of opportunities to share many memories. If you plan on giving it as a gift for a holiday, be sure to buy it ahead of time to give yourself plenty of time to fill it out.

Excellent Book for Dads

A Father's Legacy: Your Life Story in Your Own Words This book is a great gift for Fathers. Nice size, and lots of questions to jog your mind about your life and passing on things about yourself to your children. You can pick it up and complete a page or two at a time. Nice gift that can be completed and read to your children while you're still alive or by them after you die. If you buy it for an elderly father, you could ask him questions out of the book and do the writing yourself. Great gift that keeps on giving. The book has a spiral binding, so it's easy to keep open while you're writing in it. Also, there are so many questions that if any are too uncomfortable to answer or hard to remember at the time, you can just move on to another one.

This is such a nice gift for the father of your children or even your own father

This is a very detailed book. It has more than what I even thought was in it. It is a great gift.

This book should be rated with 10 stars!

I bought this book for my husband, and we just got it yesterday. At first he didnt even want to be bothered with the book, wouldnt even open it. But as a good wife I am, I nagged and nagged some more lol, finally he opened it up. Well, he never let it down until he had got to the last page of the book. I think I might have even saw a tear falling down his face. :) This is going to be a wonderful book for our daughters! After we are gone, this book will give our daughters a chance to really know things about their father. I just wish I had bought more. Oh wait, I think I will now! Why don't you too? aloha

Fill this book out for your descendants!

I bought this book for myself and for my Dad. I am interested in genealogy, so it's a natural for me to want to record my own life somehow for my kids to enjoy after I'm gone. I'm not really a good writer but I can sure answer questions and fill in short stories. This book prompts you for information, like (I'm paraphrasing) "What was your first pet", "What chores did you do" or "Where did you go on summer vacations?" There are many pages with questions like these, with the rest of the page filled with blank lines for you to recollect and write your responses. Also included are religious questions, like "What church did you go to" or "Did you pray as a child?, which is welcome and not surprising from a Christian book publisher. I have completed the book, writing one page per evening. It was painless and caused me to reflect back on my life in a good way. And I have created an heirloom that I hope will be treasured 100 years and more from now. I sure wish my own ancestors had written down their thoughts like this. Spend the time and bless future generations with your wisdom and personal history. :-)
