The Man Behind the Book

I have known Jamie Bohnett for over 20 years. He walks what he believes. He poured his heart out into this book and doesnt bore you with endless statistics and graphs. Having raised and discipled four kids, plus discipling and mentoring United States Marines, Jamie has real and practical life experience. This is a great read. I recommend you take the time to peruse this book. You will love it!!!!

Like Father, Like Son

I am reading through this book and am finding it to be hitting on some very foundational issues related to being, not only a dad, but a husband as well. Jamie Bohnett is very transparent in sharing his own life experiences and the lessons he has learned. The book has made me think even more about what my son is learning from me in the way I live my life day-to-day. I am buying a copy for a new dad in my office and will get a copy to give my son when he becomes a dad. I highly recommend this book to all dads.

Fathering like the Eternal Father

A woman's relationship with her father permeates how she expects to be treated by a man. Just like a woman brings this type of baggage (or positivity) into a relationship, so does a father bring the positives or negatives of his relationship with his father into the marriage. It also colors how we see the heavenly Father. When we realize that, we'll be halfway there. The other half you'll gain through reading this book is that there are several areas where our families need us to strive as hard as we do at work when we are in the home arena. Discipline, love and attention, spiritual equipping, play and several other topics are addressed in quick chapters that can be digested in one sitting. If you would like to improve your relationship with your wife and kids before it is too late, you need to check this book out. Be intentional about taking care of your family.

Fathering Book That Respects Your Intelligence

Finally a fathering book that is not a simple minded "how to book." Like Father Like Son ask fathers to analyze how they do parenting and how their sons develop an image of God through the way they parent. Until reading this book I never really looked at being a father this way. Now, every action I take I ask how will my son see God differently because of my actions. It doesn't create guilt in me it just makes me realize that when I do make errors to go to my son and correct any damage I might of done. Thanks to the author for treating me like an adult in writing this book. No simple ten-step book here.... The author just sets out to ask you thought provoking questions and tells great stories to make sure you discover what God has for you and you son.

Like Father, Like Son

Outstanding material that clearly articulates issues fathers and sons face in their relationship, from the author and coauthor who each faced unique trauma as sons, and also had experience being fathers. The stories really brought the material home in a way that is easy to identify with, and great for discussion groups.
