In the Beginning . . . Dads - Paperback

by Tony Papadakis (Author)

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.
