Description
"Your go-to gift for new fathers." - Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author, motivational speaker, and radio host
Whether you know it or not, if you're a dad, you're a hero- that's the message of bestselling author and pediatrician Meg Meeker.
Even if you're struggling with all the demands of fatherhood, let Dr. Meeker reassure you: every man has it within him to be the hero father his children need. With simple step-by-step instructions and drawing on long experience-including her work with the NFL's Fatherhood Initiative-Dr. Meeker shows you how to be the father you want to be and your children need you to be.
Discover why fathers are even more important to their children than their mothers are; why your children want you to be their hero-even if their relationship with you has been strained or distant; and secrets that can help divorced dads, widowed dads, and stepfathers maintain-or rebuild-a strong relationship with their children
As Dr. Meeker writes, "If you want what is best for your children-if you want what is best for you-you should strive to be a hero father. In this book, I hope to show you how."

-LES PARROTT, PH.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts
"Superman is good. Captain America is great. YOU, on the other
hand, have been designed with powers beyond those of ordinary men.
With purpose and wisdom flowing through your veins, only YOU
can save your children from the pitfalls that await! YOU are the hero
they long for. You are the hero they will remember. Let this book be
your guide, my friend. Go...while there's still time! You have only one
chance..."
-ANDY ANDREWS, New York Times bestselling author of The
Traveler's Gift and The Noticer
"For many men, the critically important role of 'father' often takes
a back seat to the responsibilities of being a husband, provider, or
leader. And sadly, it's their kids who pay the price. With wisdom and
sensitivity, Dr. Meg Meeker offers a powerful reminder that 'dad' is
the most important title a man will ever hold."
-JIM DALY, president of Focus on the Family
