What does it mean to be a Catholic man and father today? This collection of faith-filled reflections by fourteen Catholic men—including Ray Guarendi, Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, Patrick Madrid, and Damon C. Owens—affirms the value, purpose, and identity of fatherhood in the context of cultural attitudes that frequently undervalue the role of fathers in family life. These honest and practical essays address a variety of topics, including tips for balancing work and family life, raising your kids Catholic, repairing a broken marriage, breaking the chains of pornography, disciplining children, and cultivating strong relationships with God, one's spouse, and one's kids. Drawing from personal anecdotes, models of fatherhood in the parables of Jesus, Scripture passages, Church teaching, and more, "Man to Man, Dad to Dad" empowers fathers to embrace their vocation more fully while inspiring them to grow in faithfulness and holiness.

Seek it out, read it, and then share it with a Dad you know!"
