The positive presence of a father in his child's life is beneficial in many ways. Recognizing the power of this presence, most dads seek to become more engaged and involved with their children. However, many dads have difficulty because of the many pressures and constraints of real life obligations like jobs, household chores and other responsibilities. Others who are willing may not know how. This book assists dads enhance their presence in the face of those other obligations and challenges. Fathers who pursue such a relationship with their children are called Be There Dads. The author, Jeff Usher, guides dads on a journey to becoming Be There Dads. Believing that we do not grow by knowing the answers, but by struggling with the questions, he asks eight thought provoking questions intended to help dads grow. Questions include, Why have you come to do battle? What did your father teach you? How do I look? and What do I say? Readers are challenged to find their own answers to thes questions; but, Jeff helps them by telling the parables of his own life, the real life stories that helped him find his own answers to the same questions. Fathers can easily relate to Jeff's humorous stories. The reading is easy, but the lessons are powerful.
