Time For Dad

I received the Time with God for Fathers devotional by Jack Countryman from Thomas Nelson Publishing!! This is a beautiful book. The hard maroon cover on the outside and cream colored pages on the inside gives the book a beautiful antique look.

The devotional is not date specific and covers an array of topics. Each devotional consists of a passage of Scripture and a message from the author. They are quick reads and each cover important aspects of being a father. This devotional provides the encouragement many fathers need daily. The focus of this book isn't to teach a man how to be a father, but to bring him closer to God so that he may become a better father by following the example God sets for us. The book also includes a list of Biblical references for topics in the back of the book, as well as a section for notes at the back of the book.
This is a great gift for Father's Day! I highly recommend this book for all dads, whether you are a new dad, or already have grandchildren... spending time with God will only make you a better dad, a better example to your children and grandchildren God's true love for us!
The critical topics of fatherhood include:

The importance of worship, obedience, what to do when troubles come, how to have courage and overcome fear, examining your attitude, finding strength and learning to be patient, trusting God and having the patience to wait on Him, etc. The topics chosen are absolutely fantastic and the verses selected are vital to a father's faith walk. The thing I loved most about each topic was the commentary that went with each Scripture. As if the Scriptures were not enough, the commentary takes you deeper in your faith and reads as a devotional. So, the book is not merely a collection of pertinent Scriptures, but an expansion of those Truths to help the Father fight the fight of faith.
