Here’s a new Bible I discovered online. No doubt every dad will want one for himself and family — especially the tech-savvy teens. Warning: If you watch this video, you will immediately want to buy this technological breakthrough. But don’t say you weren’t warned first!
A great Family Dad finished his earthly life last week… in the prime of fatherhood.
On October 12th, Chris Klicka, a 48-year-old faithful husband and father to 7 children, passed away after a 15-year battle with the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.
His life, his commitment to his family, and his vocational work were an inspiration to many and a blessing to those who knew Chris personally.
Chris worked as an attorney for Homeschool Legal Defense Assn. and helped many families who faced obstacles exercising their right to homeschool.
This past June — just 4 months before his death — Chris was interviewed about his physical struggle and how he dealt with his feelings and suffering with MS. His attitude was amazing. The words he shared leave us dads with a profound message on suffering, discouragement, pain, priorities, and the brevity of life.
About once or twice a month I try to spotlight a good resource for dads to read or a good one to read aloud to your family. (After all, family reading is one of the best ways you can spend time with your children.)
If I were to ask my children to list their favorite books we’ve read together as a family, one of the books that would be near the top of their list is Faith Hunt.
It is written by Gary Keesee, a family dad who has five children, owns several businesses, pastors, speaks at conferences, hosts a weekly tv show… and loves to deer hunt.
Years ago, God spoke to Gary about his deer hunting. No, He did not tell Gary to “give it up.” Instead, He taught Gary how to trust Him for his deer.
At first, Gary had no idea what God was telling him… “Trust God for my deer?”
But each deer season, God taught Gary a new spiritual truth to apply to his deer hunting. And each deer season, Gary got his deer quickly.
Amazingly, Gary has had 100% success in bagging deer for over 16 years now.
He even has a trophy deer that ranked among the top bucks in Ohio… and of course a “deer story” to go with it.
In his book, Faith Hunt, Gary has recorded many of his deer stories as well as the spiritual truths he has learned from his hunting experiences. God’s Word and it’s truths hold the keys that have given Gary 100% success in deer hunting for over 16 years.
As a guy, you will enjoy reading Faith Hunt.
And if you have children at home to read with, they will also be captivated by these real-world hunting stories while learning key spiritual truths they can apply to their lives all the way into adulthood!

“Duct Tape Dad” is a true story that will encourage dads to continue doing all those little things we think our children never notice or appreciate. We really are impacting their lives, even when we don’t think we are. So keep loving and enjoying them day in and day out! And when they’re grown up, they’ll have memories of their dad like this one.
Every dad with a daughter knows that young girls have a strong desire to feel beautiful (as do their moms too!) . As guys, we don’t fully understand this innate longing in females. But when girls fall for the secular culture’s definition of “beauty” as consisting only of weight, looks, curves, clothing styles, etc., they begin down a path of deception and what the writer of Proverbs calls “vain” (Proverbs 31:30.)
This music video by Johnny Diaz is a creative, light-hearted, and powerful reminder to ladies of all ages that the age-old message “beauty is only skin deep” is indeed a false one. And a reminder to us dads to remember to continually remind our daughters and our wives through our words and actions that “there could never be a more beautiful you”… for true beauty lies within the heart.
