In The Beginning… Dads — On Sale Now
When Brian’s weekend visitation with his kids ended with unenthusiastic hugs from his children, he knew it was another failed weekend with them. He was failing as a father. But a chance encounter with Peter, a bespectacled man with a crooked, ironic smile, changed everything. As they started meeting after each weekend of visitation, Peter showed Brian God’s plan for fatherhood.
In the Beginning . . . Dads is not a theology book; it is the story of two men, an older man walking a young father through the issues of fatherhood. It allows you to sit in on their conversations as Peter walks Brian through the first three chapters of Genesis showing how it applies to God’s plan for fatherhood, what happened to that plan, and the struggles all fathers face.
In the Beginning . . . Dads:
– Provides clarity about the roles God intended for fatherhood.
– Demonstrates how being created in the image of God affects fatherhood today.
– Describes what happened to God’s plan for fatherhood.
– How to face the temptations every father struggles with.
– How fathers differ from mothers and why that difference is critical to children.
– How to make a plan to become the father God intends you to be.
This book is for every father: for fathers who live with their children, for fathers who don’t, and for fathers who are estranged from their children.

“Have you tried fries from an air fryer? They’re healthier for you.”
“Yeah, and they suck too,” Peter answered. “I think air frying fries is a crime against nature. It’s like caffeine-free diet soda—why? What’s the purpose of that? If you remove all the sugar and caffeine, all you’re left with is malted battery acid. It makes no sense to me. Same with removing the grease from french fries”
Men are tempted…
…in their kingly role to either (a) become a tyrant, or (b) to disengage completely.
…in their priestly role to either (a) to disengage from the hard work of nurturing your family, or (b) to make your family the center of your universe instead of God.
…in their prophetic role to either (a) abdicate the responsibility to someone else, or (b) to be so forceful with their teaching that the children grow up resenting their father’s beliefs.
