A GREAT GRADUATION PRESENT
The title is accurately "Father's Compass," but I fear that means it won't be gifted to young men graduating high school (or even better, beginning high school), which is a better season to be exposed to these ideas...because you can do something about it instead of wishing you made different career decisions after you're already a father.
I've been following Jeremy's work for a while... So there wasn't anything earth shaking or new in this book compared to his other works. At ~75 pages (including chapter headings) is a great intro or quick afternoon refresher read for people new to the Family Teams idea or else just need a high level fly over again.
Again, it's only ~75 pages, so the 5 star review is for the book as an overview. This will (hopefully) whet your appetite for more, but the "more" will be found in other books. Check out Nancy Pearcey's The Toxic War on Masculinity for "more" background on why Pryor and Bethke's work in the Family Teams area is needed.

Very short. 21 mini-essays about how fathers (and mothers) can help lead their family and point them in the right direction. If you enjoyed Family Revisions by Jeremy Pryor or Take Back Your Family by Jefferson Bethke, you will like this one as well (though I would read both of those first). Recommended.

Asks some good questions
This book is written for the person who has bought into their vision of family and faith. I was hoping for some more outside support, some more scripture to back up the points they were saying but didn’t really get that. The book does raise some meaningful questions though.

Good read for dads!
Jeremy does a great job of providing some insight into fatherhood. I love how diverse the 21 insights are, ranging from finances to raising boys. Definitely worth the read!

This was a great book I read it as part of my devotional reading. It was great to get some things to think about and to learn about with regards to being a father.
I would recommend this book to all young men.
