Review

“When I speak with fathers-and I speak to lots of them-they often ask me, “What do I need to do to be a better dad?”  Well, Gregory Slayton’s book certainly helps answer this important question. Full of personal stories and practical advice and strategies, “Be a Better Dad Today” is a much needed resource that I highly recommend that any dad have in his library.”
Roland C. Warren, President of National Fatherhood Initiative

"I learned about life and honor from my father and grandfather, who were my heroes as Naval officers and, most importantly, fathers. Earning their respect was the most lasting ambition of my life, and even though they are no longer with us, I continue to live my life according to the terms of their approval. Their courage and faith were an inspiration to me and a key to my survival in some of my most difficult times. I am grateful for the memories of these two great men and the respect and affection they provided as the patriarchs of our family. I’ve personally known Gregory and his family for years, and I know he exemplifies the title of his book "Be a Better Dad Today!" each and every day of his life. There are certain lessons in life that can best be taught by fathers. My hope is that this book will help every single man who picks it up to be the best father, the best husband, and the best man he can be." 

John McCain, United States Senator

 

"Gregory Slayton writes eloquently about the God given nobility of fatherhood, an institution of grand personal, familial, and societal importance, but also a journey that many men embark on without fully knowing the true path or destination. Slayton deepens our understanding of what being a father means and offers guidance on how fathers can realize their fullest potential.”

Joe Lieberman, United States Senator

 

"There is no more important job in the world for men than being a good father for our kids. I love being a dad - and I always have. That’s why I appreciate the honesty, the humor and the many helpful ideas that my friend Gregory Slayton has packed into “Be A Better Dad Today!” Being a “Better Dad Today” - and every day of our lives - is one of the most important things we can do for our family, our community and our Nation.”

G. K. Butterfield, United States Congressman
