Let me start off by saying that I love a book that gives me a new perspective. This one did exactly that. I am familiar, first hand, with the struggles of a single mother. I had never put much thought into what a single dad goes through when a marriage or relationship falls apart.
Tez Brooks does a fantastic job of creating a guidebook of sorts for men, lessons learned from his own experience as a Christian single dad. The book is written with humor and car references, and his advice is backed by scripture and prayer. It is a easy read,yet full of valuable information on navigating cooking, visitation, holiday traditions, decorating, dating, remarriage and so much more. There is also advice on dealing with a non-Christian ex, and a chapter on blended families which I wish I read years ago.
Each chapter ends with questions to ponder, which Tez calls "Checking your Gauges," relevant scripture and a prayer.
I wish I could hand a copy of this book to every single dad out there. It is an excellent addition to a church library or small group study.
Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book complementary to review.
