Being a father is one of the most important jobs a man can ever have. Being a father is more than a title - it's a twenty-four-hour-a-day job that takes sweat, tears and time. And the rewards of being a faithful father are astounding.

Because the number of absent fathers is rising, Family First has republished this timeless classic by Philip Howard. Father & Son was written in 1922 as a guide for fathers in raising their sons to become godly men. It is relevant today, nearly eighty years later, as the battle continues for the hearts and minds of our children.

Family First is a pro-family public policy think tank. Associated with Dr. James Dobson and Focus on the Family, they equip and encourage citizens to create communities where families are once again valued, nurtured, and strengthened. And the very first place they begin is with our nation's fathers.

From Father & Son:

After loving good-night words and kisses has been given him by both parents, and he had nestled down to rest, this little boy was accustomed, night after night, to rouse up once more, and to call out from his trundle-bed to his strong-armed father, in the room from which the light gleamed out, beyond the shadowy hall-way, "Are you there papa?" And the answer would come back cheerily, "Yes, my child, I am here." "You'll take care of me tonight, papa; won't you?" was then his question. "Yes, I'll take care of you, my child," was the comforting response. "Go to sleep now. Good night." And the little fellow would fall asleep restfully, in the thought of those assuring good-night words. A little matter that was to the loving father; but it was a great matter to the sensitive son."
