Following some of the pattern of the website’s daily emails,
it provides guidance and tips for fathers followed by a “Huddle Up” with
questions that you can ask your children.
It focuses on the 7 “M’s” to execute the fundamentals of Love and
Leadership. The chapters go over each of
the seven: Makeup, Mind-set, Motive, Method, Model, Message, and Master.
I think that this book goes over some of the basic ideas of
most parenting books. To be an effective
parent, you need to focus on your relationship with God first and then your
relationship with your family, and putting those before yourself. I like the way that each chapter focuses on a
different idea. It seemed to flow well
and kept the book moving to the end. He
mixed in his own experiences with the advice of some famous fathers, which most
of those fit in well. I thought the book
got better as it went and I enjoyed the last few chapters the most. One of the most important reminders, I think,
is that our children are always watching us, so while what we tell them can be
important, being an example worthy of following is more important.
