Fatherhood Parenting

We live in an era of low expectations. In fact, we tend to celebrate low expectations. The way in which we choose to live and work today is a far cry from the purposeful living of our parents. Have we reached the point in our society where it is more important to look good rather than be good? This book reacquaints listeners with the wisdom - the common sense that was practiced simply and unwittingly by those who represent a generation gone by: a generation that worked hard without complaining; a generation that did whatever was necessary to support their families....

“Working Dads and Balancing Acts” is a compilation of stories to celebrate fathers who, like you, want to be the best they can be in everything they do and be the best for their children.
