This is a great book for all dad's. I have really enjoyed reading it, easy read and lots of good stories about life.

Unlike Chapman's other books on Christian living which generally take on an "outdoors" theme, this is primarily centered on passing on knowledge to his son.

How many men wish their fathers had done the same?

One essay. One Page. One Paragraph. Anything?

Chapman records his personal thoughts and ideas while always keeping them Christ-centered. Its hard to go wrong living a Christ-centered life.

I read this as prep work for reading Dr. Dobson's "Bringing up Boys". I wanted an insider's view of raising a Godly son, before I went with technical data. My 5 year old is already quickly becoming a young man and its helpful to understand the importance even now of passing on a legacy.

But is this a good book?

I found some nuggets worth keeping. Maybe the biggest thing I've learned however, is its time to set down some things I want my own child to learn.
