After teaching Real Father classes and speaking at men's conferences in churches, I am repeatedly struck by the same deep, aching regret I hear from so many fathers. Men come to me-often with tears in their eyes-and say, "If only I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have made so many mistakes."

Fatherhood has no rewind button. We train for years to become electricians or doctors, yet somehow assume we don't need to learn how to be an effective father. We think it will come naturally-and that assumption has cost many dearly. The regret is real. The wounds run deep.

Real Father is more than a book-it's a transformative journey, forged in the fires of real experiences, painful mistakes, and hard-won victories. It combines the wisdom of generations, timeless biblical truths, and the best fatherhood principles I've gathered over many years.

Whether you're holding your newborn, wrestling with teenage drama or trying to reconnect with grown kids-this book will give you the tools, and vision to lead your family with confidence. Start the journey. Change your story. Leave a legacy your children will be proud of.
