Dave Ramsey shares Biblical wisdom on the legacy we build with our wealth. What does the Bible really say about money? About wealth? How much does God expect you to give to others? How does wealth affect your friendships, marriage, and children? How much is "enough"? There’s a lot of bad information in our culture today about wealth - and the wealthy. Worse, there’s a growing backlash in America against our most successful neighbors, but why?

Jim Daly, president and CEO of Focus on the Family, is an expert in fatherhood - in part because his own 'fathers' failed him so badly. His biological dad was an alcoholic. His stepfather deserted him. His foster father accused Jim of trying to kill him. All were out of Jim's life by the time he turned 13. Isn't it odd - and reminiscent of the hand of God - that the director of the leading organization on family turned out to be a guy whose own background as a kid and son were pretty messed up?

After Eric Davis spent over 16 years in the military, including a decade in the SEAL teams, his family was more than used to his absence on deployments and secret missions that could obscure his whereabouts for months at a time. Without a father figure in his own life since the age of 15, Eric was desperate to maintain the bonds he'd fought so hard to forge when his children were young - particularly with his son, Jason, because he knew how difficult it was to face the challenge of becoming a man on one's own.

Publisher's Summary
Pediatrician and best-selling author Meg Meeker has a message: stop undervaluing fatherhood.
We live in a culture that hails motherhood as a woman's crowning achievement yet defines men first and foremost by their professional accomplishments, treating fatherhood as almost incidental - a bonus. But from her years spent as a pediatrician listening to children's needs and fears, Dr. Meeker understands just how crucial a father's role is.
Hero is a powerful affirmation of fatherhood that shows men how being a strong, active father can be their greatest triumph.

I'm not a father. Still a 22 year old single male. I just got the book because I'm curious to what a man is. I found my answer in this book. Be a leader. Not a coach but a leader. It also shows the importance of a dad. Shoutout to all the single moms out there. Listening to this book brought me back to my childhood. I was fortunate enough to have both parents. This books makes me think I can be a dad now. I'm inspired to be a teacher now.

Father, you either are, or you must become a hero for your children, there is no other option.
I did like the way MD, Meg Meeker was able to further cement the role of fathers and the responsibility fathers have by considering both facts why fathers should feel that responsibility, that of irreplaceable role of fatherhood, but also the very important correlation between father and The God.
I would recommend this book specifically to all fathers, but also to mothers who need to better understand the role and responsibility of fathers.
I did listen this book with a goal of better understanding the role that fathers should play with their children. I was fortunate to read this book and I am sure it will help me reach my goal of becoming a better father and build a better and healthier family!!

A small reminder, but somewhat pedantic...
Dr Meeker's latest admonition attempts to cover far too much ground. For good fathers, it's a small reminder of the impact we have on the future women of the world. For not-so-good fathers, this may be a good starter. But, to try to put both audiences in one book is a bit of a stretch, even for Dr Meeker.
I also found the narrator to be slightly off-putting and somewhat condescending. In my estimation, the book would have been better served in the voice of Dr. Meeker, and not some disconnected voice

EVERY MAN NEEDS THIS
This book is packet with evidence based research on children's behaviors as it relates to their fathers involvement. I am a 28 year old male with no kids, heck I don't even have a girlfriend and I still find great value in this book. Engaged all the way to the end. Heard it recommended on the Dave Ramsey show and knew I had to have it. Great, great book for men.

Principles of Fatherhood
The author constantly weaves real stories in and out of the principles she teaches in her book. As a result the book flows very smoothly and clearly illiterates the real life application of the principles taught.

Good but not great.
I bought this book for encouragement and tips on being the very best father possible. The book did a good job giving examples of different family situations and how to tackle them but was a let down in other areas. One example was “if your dad failed you or had bad habits, don’t do what your dad did”. Possibly I’m being overly critical but that seems like common sense to me. There was nothing truly eye-opening for me personally. I don’t think I would recommend it to someone unless they were really struggling with fatherhood.

Wasn't everything Dr. Meeker has to offer.
pretty good. Not as good or impactful as Strong Fathers Strong Daughters IMHO. There really is a need for the hero Dr Meeker calls dad's to be in this book, but I think she overlooked some of the outfalls that can come up. Also, her insurance that "he isn't mad at you, he's mad at himself" over and over seemed inaccurate for a lot of situations. Maybe he is mad at you because you're being a jerk, or not doing what he needs. Just buckling down on spending time with your kid won't always make things better if theres some resentment you kid is holding because you're unwilling to talk about certain issues that need to be addressed. Just my opinion, but I think she gave dad's a little too much credit for their maturity.
Sometimes, there's some kind of issue the dad will need to work on or resolve first before all this spend more time with your kids advice will be positive.
