Just in Time for Father's Day: A Book to Help Foster Dad and Son Relationships
Better Dads, Stronger Sons: How Fathers Can Guide Boys to Become Men of Character by Rick Johnson applies Biblical principles to fatherhood and responsibilities. In "Mistakes All Dads Make," Johnson asks readers to reflect on their sons' strengths. He compares fatherhood to coaching, saying, "I tell my players to focus on their strengths, not their weaknesses. Help your son find his strengths — his gifts from God."
Although Johnson directs his writing to men who are seeking fatherhood help, mothers and grandparents would also find beneficial insights from Johnson. Many of the Better Dads, Stronger Sons ideas can be applied to daughters as well as sons.
Is Talking to God a One Way Street?
Nine Ways God Always Speaks by Mark Herringshaw and Jennifer Schuchmann is for Christians who are open to the idea that, "God's messages can sneak up on us." Both of the authors are open about their beliefs and their positions, and their interesting personal experiences are combined with anecdotes of other Christians.
The authors emphasizes an individual, personal relationship with God, and encourages personal reflection. "Jesus wasn't interested in bossing people around. Instead of exact instructions, he gave general principles that were completely left up to the listener to implement."
Nine Ways distinctly Protestant tone, which makes sense in light of Dr. Herringshaw's experience as a Lutheran teaching pastor. Orthodox and Catholic readers may find that the foundational teachings in the book are contrary to their traditional philosophies, which intertwine the authority of the Church with one's relationship to God.
Growing Spiritually Through Scriptural Reflection and Prayer

In addition to different questions and scriptural discussions, Alcorn presents perspectives of other Christians, and offers prayers throughout the 50 Days of Heaven. Verses are used from six different Bible translations.

All of the books are available in printed format for those who want to support local Christian book stores.
