[In my first installment of my suggestions as a new dad its just my opinion! And it relates to MY situation. I have no expertise except for the training I am getting now! -(other peoples babies do not count as experience for your own)-]

Subtitled: Discovering the secret to a man’s soul.
John Eldridge uses theology, stories, and life experiences (you don’t need to be an outdoors man to relate) to explain that men need to be ‘Wild at Heart’ AND to give men the permission to do so!
