Tell us a little about yourself. Kenn Gangel is Distinguished Professor Emeritus
at Dallas Seminary and Scholar-in-Residence at
Toccoa Falls College (GA).
Jeff Gangel is Vice President for Spiritual
Formation at Toccoa and pastor of Campus
Community Church.
Collectively we have over 100 years of fathering
experience.
What was your motivation behind this project? To produce a book that is biblical, practical,
interesting and inexpensive.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? A new and fresh concept of fathering, its
challenges and its joys, and realistic ways of
improving fathering behavior.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? After experiencing disappointment with so many
other fathering books which seem to be
exclusively devotional or sometimes critical, my
son and I wrote FATHERING LIKE THE FATHER. Its
uniqueness (other than a two generational
perspective) is its intense biblical focus framed
in a practical "you can do it" format.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: The book has a special structure which allows it
to be used for individual reading, small group
study, or Sunday school classes. Follow-up
questions appear at the end of every chapter.
Suggestions for parent-child dialog help dads
turn text into life.
