Fatherhood really should come with an operator's manual.

Our world sends many conflicting signals on the important issues of life. How should we approach anger? Is discipline a good thing, or not? Why speak with honesty? Is prayer for real? What is true wisdom?

In His kindness, God has answered all these questions—and many more—in the pages of His Word, the Bible. Whatever our needs, we can find in scripture the principles we need to address the issues we face.

This collection of Bible verses is a handy reference to some of the key issues that all people—and especially fathers—face. In these pages, you’ll find carefully selected verses that address more than five dozen topics like adversity, courage, family discipline, duty, labor, prayer, and temptation.
