"In our modern-day career-driven world of 12-hour workdays, being a Father competes with nearly everything, and yet when it comes to what is truly lasting, satisfying, and ultimately fulfilling in life, there is nothing else so rewarding as being a dad." -Bruce Linton

"I am not the only writer on 'fathers' to have eagerly tracked Bruce Linton's highly significant writings and activities over the past thirty years. His inspiring thinking is rooted deeply in his workshops and community activities. This work comes directly from his experience of the experience of others. He is therefore taking care of the partners, children and grandchildren of his participants just as much as he is taking care of them. This is quite an achievement and deserves widespread recognition. As the United States engages with a different kind of 'father of the nation', the political and cultural relevance of this book is very clear."
