What a wonderful book! Brandon has such a warmth about him as he tells this deep and personal story. It is a moving book that reflects on parenthood and even more importantly on our relationship with God. I especially enjoyed the chapters written by Jennifer and Ethan, that brought such a complete view of how each member of the Boyd family has drawn closer to God through Ben. Everyone should read this book!

Wonderful parenting book for anyone following Jesus and pointing your kids to Him, while delighting in who they are and how he’s created them. Brandon’s story with Benjamin is challenging and encouraging!

Really enjoyed this book. I think it would be beneficial for every adult to read it. Not just fathers. It had an impact on how I view every person that God created. 5⭐️
