There is much wisdom contained within this short guide for any husband/father. Very helpful in my own life and highly recommended to any man who is either currently a husband and father or may become one. It covers topics ranging from virtues to practical applications and everything in between, all in a quick read. Read it slowly and savor the meaning, perhaps only a few minutes per day. You will be a better man for it!
