books about: fatherhood     books:       A Bigger Life (Eden Plain Series #1)25 reviews Annette Smith NavPress Publishing Group, 2007 A memorable book This book made me cry but not for the obvious reasons i.e. a sad storyline. The beauty which brought tears to my eyes was the love that was apparent within the characters....between husband and wife, friends, church members, as well as acquaintances. I especially appreciated the imperfect nature of each of the characters. Somehow that made them so much more real and therefore likable to me. ...             Why a Daughter Needs a Dad: A Hundred Reasons27 reviews Gregory E. Lang, Janet Lankford-Moran Cumberland House Publishing, 2002 Beautiful book I purchased two copies of this book, one for my father and one for my husband. As I flipped through the pages I felt I could relate to every passage that was written. They are personal, yet universal........simple but descriptive. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to touch the heart of a dad with a little girl (or a grown little girl).             Raising Cole: Developing Life's Greatest Relationship, Embracing Life's Greatest Tragedy: A Father's Story20 reviews Marc Pittman HCI, 2004 Great book.

Well, I really think I needed this book. I was anxious to say the least but when the baby arrived, i had no idea what to expect or what to do. My wife's books did not apply to me. I had a lot of mixed feelings about the whole thing but could not tell anyone about it. Dr. Goldman's book was the only one that seemed to let me feel what I wanted or needed to feel. I wasn't filled with joy ...             Adopting Alyosha: A Single Man Finds a Son in Russia33 reviews Robert Klose University Press of Mississippi, 1999 Klose has the gift for writing and living I received this book with low expectations considering previous tactical books I had read on the subject.

Sears, James M. Sears Harvard Common Press, 2006 Hubby loved it My husband was a little leery of sitting through reading the "typical" baby books together. But, he really liked the approach these authors took - they pride themselves on trying to be funny, but the information is very valuable.
