Daily Dad Book

I also have a book of daily readings, just for dads! Instead of a parenting book you read one time as a sleep-deprived new parent (and instantly forget among all the other things you’re now supposed to remember), this book provides 366 accessible meditations on fatherhood, a manageable slice for each day.

Buy it at my bookstore, The Painted Porch, or wherever books are sold.

Being a dad is special. It’s one of the only things you do every day. So do it well.
