"Reading this short book is like walking into a secure and happy home. You find that your job as a father is more significant than you thought it was and there is opportunity to check the reasons and also the down to earth application. Best of all—with this godly wisdom—you don't get tempted to the house next door called "leave it to someone else" nor to the other side called "you've done a hopeless job". Read it to be a secure and happy home builder!"
—Simon Manchester, St Thomas' Church, North Sydney
