This book was simple and clear teaching of parents’ responsibilities, especially fathers. Having listened to sermons by the author I noticed a similar presentation style in the book. The main scripture exposited was Ephesians 5:18-6:17 and it served as framework for the book.
Overall I think it is a good book that keeps the parenting discussion tethered to scripture.

If you are a father then you must read this book! It will help you wrap your mind and heart around how you must nurture and pray for your children. It will rivet your heart to look at your role as a father with godly eyes and a Christlike heart.

The Legacy by Steven J. Lawson is a great resource for the Christian father who wants to teach and model his values for his children.
The book would be well suited for a small group setting. It was a little tedious reading it straight through. It got to feeling a tad repetitious with an over abundance of examples. While part of that is due to my personality, i think it could have been tightened up a bit.
Not part of a small group? Start one! And here is a great text with which to start.

A normal book for dads. Nothing made this stand out for me.
