This book offers a practical look at a subject which is more and more on the minds of men. The author (Finding Our Fathers) sorts out competing impulses and desires as he takes a hike with his six-year-old daughter, watches his nine-year-old son play baseball, wakes up his sleeping children early in the morning, and tries to talk to his son about sex. The two most interesting chapters are on finding intimate time with his wife and renewing himself spiritually as a first step toward passing on his Jewish heritage to his children. This book makes a strong case for the idea that the ideal father is one who is vitally engaged with his children and his wife.
