Father You Get
$26.99In a world of imperfect-at-best and bad-at-worst dads, what is the ideal of fatherhood we aspire to? Why does this ideal exist?
What is it about fathers and father figures that looms so large in the lives of so many? So wonders Patton Dodd in this intimate reflection and memoir in which he wrestles with a dad-sized hole, the gap between the father he yearned to have and the father he got–an absent-while-present alcoholic whose unreliability caused chaos for everyone around him.
This struggle with the father he was given led to a variety of substituted: fathers he created, from an imaginary “Papa Friend” to male mentors he turned into father figures. Then there’s the father he believed in, a Heavenly Father, made present by the steadfast and stubborn faith of his earthly mother. And finally, there is the father Dodd became when he had his own children, an experience that led him to track down the source and mystery of the father he got.
Throughout, Dodd’s story resonates for anyone who struggles with the fathers they got, the fathers they wish they had–and anyone struggling to become the parent they hope to be.
A lyrical, emotional meditation on the failures and glories of dadhood, The Father You Get is an extended wrestling match with the mysteries of a distant parental figure and an attempt to bridge the gap between the fathers we get and the fathers our hearts yearn for.

Daddys Song
$22.43Dennis wrote Daddy’s Song for his children, as a means of explaining the redeeming love of Jesus to them. He created it out of his own story of redemption. In being asked to share his experience in such a public manner, he needed a way to tell his children his own story without it being too much of a burden for them to bear. Daddy’s Song became the perfect bridge to lead them to Jesus and, when they were old enough to understand, the perfect explanation to the reality and the depths of Dennis’ own deliverance from sin. It is a family heritage and treasure. May it prove the same for you and yours.

In today’s society, when a mother delivers a baby, majority of the time, she is honored with gifts and verbal congratulations while the father is invisible because he did not physically birth the baby. There are thousands of books, conferences, workshops, and trainings opportunities for mothers who have experienced divorce, miscarriages, and classes dedicated to educating women on how to be a parent for the first time. Unfortunately, there are not many learning tools for fathers. Statistics show that when fathers are absent from the home, children are more likely to become involved in youth gangs, sexually abused, be illiterate, have low self-esteem, become homeless, and abuse drugs and alcohol.Emerson will take you on a journey from his delivery room experience, to a low point in his life where he made unsound decisions financially, emotionally, and spiritually. This book delves deep into topics such as:
* Fathers supporting their children’s education
* The importance of a father’s presence in the home and community
* Fathers dealing with their past issues
* Fathers building a bridge to reconcile with their children
Daddy’s Milk is a book for all men to read. It will encourage, motivate, challenge, and inspire every man to see himself. Men, if you feel like you have a voice but no platform, Daddy’s Milk is for you.

Whos Your Daddy
$19.36Are we living in a “post-father” era? This book is a wake-up call to men and women, challenging them to understand the crisis of fatherlessness in the world and to examine its impact on our culture and in individual lives. The author also identifies the different types of father wounds, the specific scars that men and women carry, and provides personal steps for healing and experiencing God’s Father Love. As a generation, one of the biggest issues we face is fatherlessness. We have a generation of boys, raised by women, who don’t know how to be a man, husband, or father; and a generation of girls raised without the protection, affirmation, or wholesome affection of a father.
