Every boy wants to be a hero. He wants to be powerful, he wants to be dangerous, he wants to know ... 'Do I have what it takes?' Conversely, every girl wants to believe that she is captivating and worth fighting for. She wants to know ... 'Am I lovely?' Only you, Dad, can answer those questions. That makes you the most powerful man in your child's life. Now with a new cover, this booklet will show that You Have What It Takes.
Wild at Heart helped men to rediscover their masculine hearts-to be the men God designed them to be. Now this small book goes a step further, encouraging fathers to pass this insight on to their children. It is not by accident, contends John Eldredge, that little boys dream of being heroes and little girls dream of being rescued by a prince. It is woven into the very fiber of the sexes. Men struggle with this most pivotal role, and Eldredge’s writing is the affirmation and encouragement each man needs.
Eldredge gives fathers a look inside both themselves and their sons and daughters, encouraging them to give their children permission to be who God designed them to be.

The 64 pages contained in this book really do show Daddy's that "You Have What It Takes" when it comes to being the best Daddy to their little girl or their little boy. I read through this in no time and was so amazed at how it captured how a little girl (and eventually the grown daughter) felt and what they needed the most from their Daddy to be grow up and be able to have a successful relationship with other men who comes into their lives. I have given it to my co-workers when they become parents for the first time and have never been amazed at their thankfulness for this wonderful gift. Nor have I been shocked to find that they have passed this gift around to their friends and relatives when they have become parents for the first time. It is a jewel and I wish that it was a giveaway to every individual who has a newborn, whether it is their own or adopted. I have only been able to find it here, on Christianbook.com but I am ever so grateful I found it and I have no doubt you will too when you purchase it.

This is a great book to give to first time fathers or even to those who have been fathers for many years just to encourage them in raising their children or to bring them back to appreciating their children again or their grandchildren. I'm giving all the men of my church this book as a gift for Father's Day.
