Fathers: The Top 7 Dad Skills

Fathers is an inspirational and practical manual for all dads – not just biological fathers, but all kinds of dads, including foster fathers, adoptive fathers, substitute fathers, and other father figures. It is a unique guide because it is the first book on this subject to be based in both Scripture (the timeless wisdom of the Bible) and science (especially the new science of fatherhood). Dr Mark Stibbe has specialised in fatherhood, father wounds, and the healing of the orphan heart for over a generation. His approach combines insights from a famous ancient parable about a devoted dad with the latest research into fatherhood in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience. This creates a very insightful as well as readable mix of ancient and modern wisdom. Mark shares stories from his own experience as a dad, many of which describe his mistakes. This creates a very inclusive and relatable writing style that dads will find engaging. He encourages all fathers and father figures to understand that we can improve as dads over time as we learn from failure and commit to cultivating seven basic skills that are accessible to anyone and everyone. F is for Fun A is for Affirmation T is for Time H is for Hugs E is for Example R is for Rules S is for Security Good dads, Mark says, evolve over time as they apply these seven habits in guiding their child through all the stages of life. This book is essential reading for both expectant and experienced fathers. It accompanies the eight-week online, self-help course called Dad School (www.dad-school.co.uk).
