I can't think of a better resource for new fathers than John Fuller's excellent new book, First-Time Dad.  This is exactly what is desperately needed today.  I write as one who has seen firsthand what happens when Dad isn't there.  It's the lack of a male role model that has caused hundreds of thousands of young Americans to turn to the gangs and then end up in prison.  I'm grateful to my friend John for producing such a tremendous resource.

I remember leaving the hospital with our new baby. I had never held a child as young as ours, and couldn't believe they were letting us take her home. I desperately wanted them to give me an "instruction manual" that day -- and while it's a little late for us, you're holding a perfect tool for you if you're about to become a "First-Time Dad!" Get his practical, encouraging, biblical, humorous, must-read book for that "First-Time Dad" in your life!

Where was this 30 years ago when I could have really used it?  Here are real-world tips from a six-time dad and a master communicator. Fun, memorable, useful.  Guys, buy this book if you want to learn how to be more than merely the "masculine parental unit" – it'll teach you how to be what you've always wanted to be – an awesome Dad!  Thanks John.  BTW – it's helping me be a better "Papa" too for my grandson Michael!

I've seen John Fuller interact with his own kids.  He's the kind of dad that is always intentionally thinking about how to invest in the lives of his kids to make them better.  He knows how to prioritize family, and walk the delicate balance of being a successful professional and a successful father.   First-Time Dad will help fathers understand what to expect when kids enter the family, how to continue loving their wives in the context of the family, and ultimately how to be a dad kids will look up to and respect.  Thanks John.  We need this book!
