Most dads look forward to d-day (delivery day) with a strange mix of excitement and dread. And it's no surprise since the birth of his first child is probably among the most nerve-stretching events a man will ever experience. While dads-to-be are plagued by thousands of questions about entering the baby-fray, guys aren't likely to sit down with their fathers and friends to engage in "baby-talk." So where does a dad find a reliable source of information andpreserve his "he-man" image? This is the resource you're looking for. Set up in an easy-to-use A-to-Z format, this book is written by a veteran dad and his wife, who clearly presents the female perspective-and the medical insights afforded by her training-on matters that sometimes confuse men. Also included are features by several "seasoned dads"-such as Dr. James Dobson and Chuck Swindoll-who have experienced much in the trenches of fatherhood and now pass what they've learned along to readers.

Stowell President, Moody Bible Institute "I know Paul and Pam, and I recommend this book for first-time fathers." -Chuck Swindoll Paul and Pamela Pettitare the extraordinarily busy parents of five children and live in Dallas, Texas, where Paul serves as Associate Director of Spiritual Formation and the President & Founder of Dynamic Dads.
