Father Power by Todd Wilson
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Todd Wilson is an insanely funny speaker who tends to write like he speaks; as a consequence, this book is laced with humor throughout. But it also filled with thoughtful challenges for Dads who are seeking to influence their children in a positive way.
In the end, Todd predictably encourages his readers to not squander their time doing "things they deem more important than fathering." In fact, Todd makes a strong case that there is nothing more important than fathering.
A quick, short read, Todd packs quite a lot into this book. It is suitable for a group setting with discussion and it is meaningful also read solo. The hard part of this book is not in the reading or the understanding, but in the doing. Like most things worth doing, the action he calls fathers to is quite difficult.
