Description:...

Conventional wisdom holds that fathers have few parenting
skills and that mothers always know best. The single father
is often considered a mythical creature, found only in sitcoms
as an object of humor or pity. Where does that leave real single
dads? Too often, it makes them susceptible to overcompensation
or apathy.
Tez Brooks knows those feelings all too well. He’s traveled
that road with his own children after an unexpected divorce. The
Single Dad Detour is the result of his journey and the lessons he’s
learned along the way. It’s a guidebook for the rocky road of single
fatherhood, extending encouragement, confidence, and challenges,
using specific examples from dads who’ve survived parenting
and have hope to offer.
There are no unreachable requirements for perfect fatherhood
here and no twisty theological mysteries—just authentic, downto-
earth wisdom from one dad to another.
