Finally, a book for Dads that doesn't insult the masculine!

On Father's Day, I received the Dad in the Mirror and quickly decided it would be the basis for my men's study at my church throughout the summer. About a dozen of us went through each chapter each week and it was truly amazing. Here's a book that doesn't reinforce the hollywood stereo-type of "dad." That is, the "stupid guy" with the amazingly beautiful and smart wife (you know the shows I mean). As a father, we have a tremendous responsibility with our children. Like it or not, believe it or not, our kids are watching and learning from us. What can we do to make sure our kids don't grow up to be the guy in the clock-tower with a high-powered rifle? Listen to the ultimate dad - God. The Dad in the Mirror takes us back to God and His Word. But it isn't a Sunday morning sermon. This is a book for dads by dads. 30 years from now your kids will thank you for the kind of dad you were as you follow the guide put forth in this book.

Finally! A book on fathering that I get!

Since my wife and I first learned that we were expecting over 3 years ago, I've gone through several different books on how to be a great dad.Unfortunately, most of the books just freaked me out and got me all panicked that my kid would end up the school bully or worse!The Dad in the Mirror is the book that I was looking for all these years! Finally! This is a book written for the dad who's looking at the heart of his kids... not just the A's on the report card. It actually felt while reading it that this book was specifically written for me!I found this book to be a great read and lots of the topics covered can easily be incorporate into my fathering skills.I would strongly recommend this book to any dad, grand-dad, or soon-to-be-dad!

Great book for all dads!

This book has had a tremendous impact on me as a dad! Patrick and David have done a superb job in describing the difference between 'fathering for performance' and 'fathering the heart'. I especially like the "Straight to the Heart" section at the end of each chapter. I highly recommend this book for all dads, soon-to-be-dads, and grand-dads.

Not Just Another look in the mirror

If you have read "The Man in the Mirror", dont' be mistaken in assuming this book is just a different wrapper on the same material. Morley and Delk use a familiar metaphor but lead men to a deeper, Biblically clear understanding of how to be the dad who will see Proverbs 20:7 fulfilled. How to be the father our heavenly Father desires we be. Short, powerful, true to the Word of our Creator - "The Dad in the Mirror" is a terrific book for any man with kids - or grandkids. Don't let this book pass you by.

Fathering the heart!

This book moves from superficial "how tos" to that which will have eternal impact - fathering the heart of the child, as opposed to behavior modification. This book is a must for fathers and grandfathers who are interested in helping shape the true character of their children and grandchildren.
