Acknowledgments
First, of course, to our heavenly Father. Above all.
Then, I must credit most of the dads I know for doing a spectacular job. Your daughters are growing into wonderful young women exhibiting grace, wisdom, and integrity. Some of these men even helped shape the content of this book. That includes Chuck Thomas, Scott Kirk, Paul Gossard, Dave George, Ray Ochromowicz, Jon Gauger, Bob Miller, Terry Schweizer, and Mark Payleitner.
Other dads of daughters who contributed more indirectly are Len Asquini, Tim Coleman, Dwight Curran, Dave Buckman, Rudy DePolo, Brad Dennison, Todd Winkler, Josh McDowell, Dennis O Malley, and Tim Hollinger. Watching these men interact with their daughters has been a tremendously valuable learning experience. I recommend you also spend intentional time with other dads who are putting in the extra effort to get it right.
Thanks to all those rooting specifically for this project. That includes Sandra Bishop, my visionary agent at MacGregor Literary; Carey Casey and Brock Griffin at the National Center for Fathering; and Terry Glaspey, Bob Hawkins Jr., and the entire talented team at Harvest House Publishers.
I m assuredly grateful to the pastors and event planners who have invited me to encourage, laugh with, and challenge diverse throngs of dads and husbands. It s always fun and always humbling.
Love and thanks to my bride, Rita, and my three lovely daughters-in-law, Rachel, Lindsay, and Megan. I m still learning how to be the husband and father-in-law you deserve.
And finally, to my remarkable, unforgettable, tenacious, and sweet Rae Anne xxxo.

FOREWORD
by Robin Brown DeMurga,
daughter of Steve Brown
(author and founder of Key Life Network)
A lthough there is no such thing as a perfect father and only God can fill that role, daughters need their earthly fathers desperately. You may not think of yourself this way, but you are God s gift to your daughter. And it s clear you want to be the best father you can be. You want to love your daughter well. (After all, you picked up this book, right?)
My own father did the best he could. That s all any of us can do as we maneuver through life. Sure, you want to be a better dad, but you are always going to fall short and feel a little guilty when your perfect kids don t turn out so perfect. Thankfully, God s grace always makes up for our lack.
For me, life as a PK ( Preacher s Kid ) was hard. What kid stands a chance competing with God and God s work? Dad was, for the most part, an absentee father and he would be the first to admit it. In recent years, we ve come to terms with our daddy-daughter relationship and have had great conversations filled not so much with regrets, but a new appreciation for God s faith
