Were you fathered by a man who was whole and
healthy, who empowered and affirmed you? Or was
your father, like so many men, one who passed on
the woundedness he himself received from previous
generations?
In his new book, Fathering the Next
Generation, author William Jarema answers
these questions, and others, by delineating
portraits of ten fathering styles. Readers will
surely recognize their own fathers or father
figures -- or even themselves -- in one or
another of them. In teaching others the art and
skill of fathering, Jarema demonstrates that it
is possible for all men to both give and receive
fathering at every stage of life. Fathering the
Next Generation is Bill Jarema's gift to all
fathers and sons -- and to their mothers,
daughters, brothers, sisters, spouses and friends
as well.

A veteran dad of two daughters, author Robert
Wolgemuth knows well the uncertainty with which
many men approach parenting their daughters. In She
Calls Me Daddy, he puts these anxieties to
rest, relating all the wonderful times that are
waiting to be had with a special little lady --
your daughter. Building on seven critical
foundational elements -- protecting your
daughter, teaching the art of conversation,
expressing affection, disciplining appropriately,
creating laughter, instilling faith in God, and
demonstrating proper conduct -- Wolgemuth
suggests ways to actually get to know your
daughter.
Throughout, the author focuses on what works,
like "reading riddle books" and
tenderness, and what doesn't, like comparing her
to other girls and harsh punishment. Best of all,
this is a book about making an investment in the
life of a little girl who, some day, will become
one of her daddy's closest friends.

The role of the father is one of the most
difficult yet rewarding challenges a man can face
in his life. Circumstantial difficulties -- such
as travel, long hours at work, or divorce -- make
it all the more important for a father to learn
how to participate in his child's life.
Based on the experiences of 100 fathers, Fathering
supports men in building a strong bridge to their
children by passing on important lessons other
fathers have learned. "Fathering is
based on sound psychological principles, but it
speaks to the heart ... using short but powerful
vignettes from fathers from all walks of
life," says Psychologist Richard W. Levak.
Fathering is a highly original and
inspirational book for fathers everywhere.

Every father has a hidden desire for his
children -- to see them surpass him. How can this
come about? Ken Canfield gives a three-part
blueprint: First, a dad should examine his own
heart (the past). Next, he should take steps to
improve the way he connects with his children
(the present). Then he should take a longer range
view and plan specifically for a lifetime of
involved fathering (the future).
Based on years of careful research involving
thousands of dads, this book is a solid reference
tool for dads. The Heart of the Father is
a "must read" for dads, soon-to-be
dads, and moms who want to assist their
children's fathers.
