This book is a celebration of a father’s love. Much is written about a mother’s love, but little, if anything, is ever said about a father’s love for his children, except around Father’s Day. This insightful and thought-provoking book illustrates how a father’s love is forgiving, everlasting, unconditional...and often misunderstood. Using the Christian faith to show that fathers love as deeply as mothers, just differently, the book is designed to create “ah-ha” moments for readers who have previously not identified what the love of a father looks like.

Ken raised his three sons in a squeaky-clean suburb of Los Angeles. He envisioned fatherhood as coaching their sports teams, taking them to church (where he was the pastor), and visiting colleges one day. Instead, he got an education on the street names of opioids, fluency in rehab vernacular, and an insider’s view of the California prison system, when his middle son, Lucas, accidentally killed a man with his car while high on heroin.

So, you’re getting ready to become a first-time dad. Do you know what to expect? There are a lot of pregnancy books out there, but the majority of them are aimed towards moms.

Studies have revealed that babies fall asleep more easily when listening to “white noise”. Surprisingly so few parents are knowledgeable of the many benefits of white noise for helping babies fall asleep. In fact babies like white noise and settle more easily when listening to it. The reason being is that it reminds them of when they were in their mothers womb. Mistakenly many new parents believe that there has to be complete silence to help their babies fall asleep, but this is actually not the case.

In 2003, already an older father, National Book Award–winning novelist Tim O’Brien resolved to give his young sons what he wished his own father had given to him—a few scraps of paper signed “Love, Dad.” Maybe a word of advice. Maybe a sentence or two about some long-ago Christmas Eve. Maybe some scattered glimpses of their rapidly aging father, a man they might never really know. For the next fifteen years, the author talked to his sons on paper, as if they were adults, imagining what they might want to hear from a father who was no longer among the living.

At 53, Kevin Nealon thought he had it all: a massive international celebrity with legions of loyal fans; a fabulous modeling career; hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank; and the most recognizable face on the planet. Nealon had accomplished the impossible: a 30-year career in show business with only limited trips to rehab. But just like every other celebrity, he felt that was not enough. The perpetually insatiable Nealon wanted more, and for him "more" meant a little addition that drooled, burped, and pooped (no, not a Pomeranian).

¿Un audiolibro sobre la paternidad? Miles. Millones, seguramente. ¿Un audiolibro de historias sobre la paternidad vista desde la filosofía de la improvisación teatral y el clown? En un ámbito en el que comúnmente prevalecen los juicios y las recomendaciones especializadas, @domingomondongo, aclara que “no hay respuestas, incluso cuando lo parezca.

But when it comes to books about parenting identity, rather than the nuts and bolts of raising children, nearly all are about what it's like to be a mother. Drawing on research in sociology, economics, philosophy, gender studies, and the author's own experiences, Father Figure sets out to fill that gap.
