description: Fatherhood in the twenty-first century is not for the faint-hearted, but it isn’t rocket science and there aren’t any tricks. A new book by a seasoned father shows that any man with common sense, an unwavering focus on his goal, and the willingness to struggle can raise a great family. To Be a Father challenges men to make the demanding commitments that will transform their family lives and themselves.Challenging men to a life of service to their families, Stephen Gabriel proposes a set of commitments for those who are serious about their vocation to be a father. These promises—to one’s wife, to one’s children, and to oneself—are demanding, and many of them require a lifetime of struggle. The man who makes these promises and tries to keep them, however, will improve his relationship with his family and with God.In an age when manhood itself is in question and countless men have never known a father of their own, reflection on what it takes to be a father is indispensable. To Be a Father is the compass a man needs to navigate the tricky waters of fatherhood, helping him grow in the spirit of service and leadership grounded in virtue.
