Too religious for my tastes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Becoming a Father: The Real Work of a Man's Soul (Paperback)
I have nothing against religion, but I was very surprised to see that a large portion of this book is a fictional account of Joseph writing about fathering Jesus. Yes, there are probably good lessons to be learned here, but I couldn't get past the religious aspects of the writing to see them.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Becoming a father,
This review is from: Becoming a Father: The Real Work of a Man's Soul (Paperback)
Becoming a father is a very good book for those who has never been a father. I think this book can prepar you for a baby. It help me so much and i go back to the book to see how to deal with what ever come up. So if you are about to be a father read this and keep it near.

John Hart has written about being a father, but this is really about being a man. In a delightful style, this book touches the heart, engages the mind and moves the soul.
