A Dad's Blessing: Sometimes in Words, Sometimes Through Touch, Always by Example  [Hardcover]

James Robison (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 19, 2005

In each stage of our lives, we need to hear our fathers saying special things to us-sometimes in words, sometimes through touch, always by example. Dad's influence in our lives has been so great. This book is for fathers who want to relate to their children better, children whose fathers were never available, mothers who want to encourage their husbands, sons and daughters who want to say "thank you" to the man who gave them so much. A Dad's Blessing will encourage readers' hearts and challenge them to continue the blessing with their own children. Among the wise blessings from Dad are:

• "I loved you before I saw you"
• "I will teach you right from wrong."
• "I sure love Mom."
• "Let's play"
• "I'm here for you."
• "I'm sorry. Will you forgive me."
• "You can't keep God-or life-on your schedule."
• "You don't have to perform to please me."
• "Let me tell you about those hormones."
• "I'm so proud of you."

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Father's Day Gift: But Useful For All Of Us, August 9, 2007

By

This review is from: A Dad's Blessing: Sometimes in Words, Sometimes Through Touch, Always by Example  (Hardcover)

In study after study, both Christian and secular researchers keep confirming the same basic truth: Fathers matter. For growing boys and girls, especially as they pass through adolescence and reach adulthood, the positive impact of a caring father can make all the difference.

Author James Robison is an accomplished speaker, author, and minister. In "A Dad's Blessing" he provides strong words of wisdom for all dads --- about the challenges but also the possibilities that come with fathering children.

This book would be an excellent resource for churches to buy in bulk, passing it out as a Father's Day gift to the dads in attendance. It's a great gift for young fathers --- fathers of school-age children --- but it is highly useful for dads of any age --- and their families.

Thank you, James Robison!
