He loves me. He loves me not. This is the confusion we have left with the next generation. When we read the newspaper or watch the news we are often shocked by the acts of today's youth. What we have failed to ask ourselves is what role have we as men played. Begging for an identity the youth of this nation has for the most part been void of the voice of its fathers. The Power of Dad challenges men around the world to lift up their voices. The Power of Dad will transform your life and revitalize the relationship that you have with your child.

Are you ready to have kids? More and more gay men are turning to adoption and surrogacy to start their own families. An estimated two million American LBGTQ people would like to adopt and an estimated 65,000 adopted children are living with a gay parent. Unlike other parenting books that have whole chapters focusing on things specifically related to mothers (such as how to get the perfect latch when breastfeeding), this parenting book replaces those sections with things relevant to gay dads.

The events of the Arab Spring have come to be overshadowed by the civil war in the Arabic-speaking nation of Syria, which has been ruled throughout the 21st century by Bashar al-Assad. Though he had not planned on ruling Syria, several events conspired to make Bashar the successor of his father, Hafez. Though the West frequently looked for signs that Bashar might be a reformer, due in part to his formerly popular Western wife, Assad remained part of a critical alliance with Iran and the sub-state groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

Ever tried a 'quick' grocery run with your toddler, only to feel like you’ve walked into a circus, minus the entertaining clowns and popcorn? I know that scenario all too well.

Whether it's the frantic morning rush, persuading a child to eat their greens, or navigating an explosive tantrum in public, parenting is ripe with opportunities for growth.

Sadly, the man or women of your dreams can have parents who can literally derail your marriage, taking it from a fairy tale to a nightmare, in what feels like an instant. One of my favorite quotes is: “When did my life go from a Hallmark movie to a Lifetime movie?” This was my life.

لقد ألَّفنا هذا الكتاب من أجل جميع الآباء والأمهات غير المثاليين الذين يهتمون بشدة بأمر أطفالهم (وكذلك غير المثاليين من الأجداد والجدات والمعلمين وأساتذة الجامعات وكل من يرعى أي طفل). ولدينا رسالة محورية واحدة تبعث على الراحة والأمل، وهي: عندما تكون غير متأكد من الطريقة التي ينبغي أن تتجاوب بها مع طفلك في موقف معين، لا تقلق، فدائمًا هناك شيء واحد يمكنك فعله، وهذا الشيء هو الأفضل على الإطلاق. فبدلًا من القلق أو محاولة الوصول إلى مستوى من المثالية، لا وجود له ببساطة؛ ما عليك سوى الوجود. وما نعنيه بالوجود هو معناه البسيط، فهو يعني الوجود من أجل أطفالك.

Jesus Christ is the Master Teacher, and we have been commanded to follow His example, acquiring not only His attributes but also His teaching skills. As we do so, we invite the Spirit into our lives in the fullest measure possible. In Teaching with Power, beloved author Tad R. Callister and his wife, Kathy, explain that the goal of every gospel teacher is much more than giving a masterful lesson or an entertaining, never-to-be-forgotten presentation; it is to make our students better―to inspire them to become more like Christ.
