It blends sports references extremely well to the role of a father and parenthood and includes the input from great leaders in business, politics, medicine and sports that includes: Tony Dungry, S. Truett Cathy, Jeff Bush, Michael W. Smith and James JB Brown among others.

All Pro Dad is a easy to read and provides refreshing and creative ideas to put into place to inmediately have a positive impact in the relationship in the family.

Every chapter gives the reader the opportunity to ask his children a few simple questions that will help to digest and apply the content of each chapter.

All Pro Dad is a great resource for moms as well! ;)

Stumbling Into Grace: Confessions of a Sometimes Spiritually Clumsy Woman

This book is full of stories from the author's life. If you enjoy anecdotes and personal stories with a sense of humor you will enjoy this book. After Lisa's personal stories she offers a personal reflection and a journal entry prompt.

The approach is very friendly and informal, you will feel like you are listening to the author telling her stories in an informal setting. What I enjoyed about the book was that the author felt real, she opened her mind and life without pretenses. Her love for God is obvious and

her trust on His love for her is evident. This is a refreshing book!
