I am only about a third of the way through this book. It is amazing; it will be a great tool in your arsenal as a Christian Father. In the introduction Todd states:

"Five Key Areas

Let's review the main point so far: God is building a dad, and that dad is you. And God's plan is for you to be a great dad for the kids he has entrusted into your care. Five key areas are essential for becoming the great dad God wants you to be and that your children need you to be. To help you remember each area, I've connected each one with a body part, because as my wife keeps reminding me, guys think with their body parts. Here they are from the bottom:

• Your eyes - how you look at your children
• Your mouth - how you talk to your children
• Your heart - how you connect with your children
• Your hands - how you act toward your children
• Your feet - how you lead your children

In the following pages, you will learn how to:

• look at your children in a way that will help them see the reflection of who God made them to be in your eyes;
• talk to your children in a way that will nurture them and shape how they learn to think about themselves;
• connect with your children in a way that will build a relationship that will stay strong for years to come;
  
• act toward your children in a way that will open them up to the lessons and wisdom they need to learn from you; and
  
• lead your children along the path God has laid out for them and protect them from the pitfalls and traps the enemy has laid ahead of them."
