BORN TO DAD
: God’s Game Plan for a Five-Star Father

What kind of father do you want your children to remember? Most dads want to lead their families well, but competing demands, cultural pressure, and the fear of getting it wrong can leave even committed men feeling unprepared. Born to Dad: God’s Game Plan for a Five-Star Father offers a clear, biblical game plan for becoming the present, purposeful, five-star father your family needs. Drawing on decades of men’s ministry and family leadership, Brian Doyle with Michael Ross show that effective fatherhood is not about perfection. It begins with following Jesus, serving your wife and children, and bringing faith into everyday moments. Seven practical chapters help dads practice servant leadership, partner with Mom, celebrate each child’s God-given significance, build a Deuteronomy 6 rhythm of discipleship, encourage rather than exasperate, speak life through a father’s blessing, and guide children into godly adulthood. Real-life stories, Scripture, action steps, age-specific guidance, Dad Reflections, Dad Responses, and discussion prompts for couples and groups turn principles into a workable plan. Whether your children are unborn, preschoolers, teenagers, or young adults, you will learn to connect with empathy, communicate with wisdom, model integrity and humility, and create a home where faith can grow. You do not have to reinvent fatherhood or carry the responsibility alone. God has already provided the direction. Take your next faithful step, trade dad guilt for intentional engagement, and give your children the daily messages they need: I love you. I’m proud of you. I won’t give up on you.
