Beautiful guide for Father’s … and everyone else in a supportive parenting role too!

This is a truly amazing book. Houser is inspiring, insightful, honest, and wise beyond measure. I feel the section on clearing and forgiveness of old hurt and emotional blocks was profoundly helpful. While not everyone will be a father - most everyone has or has had one. This book really addresses the importance of fatherhood and provides a level of understanding and empathy I feel readers of any gender can embrace and learn from.
