The best givers of advice are those who encourage while they share their own accounts of learning through failure and celebrating success. This book offers just that. As a father of eight adult children, Stephen Gabriel has years of flubs, wins, trial-and-error, joys, sorrows, lessons learned, lessons shared, observing, trench-time, and plenty of reflection on the vocation of fatherhood. His book offers a go-to virtue-checklist of sorts, full of relatable stories that relate to the grind of the Everyday. Dads: use this book as a measure and reminder of your indispensable role as virtuous leaders of your family! With reliance on the grace and guidance of the Heavenly Father, the sacraments, a life of prayer, the blessing of friendship and community, and common sense, Gabriel’s insight is a source of invigorating support for all fathers. 90 pages. Paperback.
