- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great short book to continuously revisit on the role of the father
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great Book! Highly Recommend! Great for future parents as well
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really compact and has some of the most important parts of a Father’s job: Delight in your Child.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5John Eldredge succinctly lays out the message that boys and girls need to hear. It’s like Wild at Heart + the message for girls in 40 minutes. So good.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5wow! short and powerful! pointers go right to and through the heart. it has practical tips and advice for application too.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Elderedge defines successful fathering as words of affirmation combined with love. Although these are important, they fall short of a biblical worldview. Successful fathering is leading my family to Jesus. Elderedge does present the value of gospel in relationships, but misrepresents it as being primarily about healing broken family relationships. The gospel may bring that about, but it is primarily about restoring my relationship to God by forgiving my sins, and thus bringing God the glory he deserves. This short booklet gave me a couple helpful hints, but it will not serve as serious source on fathering from a biblical point of view.
