The Single Dad Detour

Directions for Fathering After Divorce

Author: Tez Brooks

Practical steps to embrace God's mission for single Dads

Conventional wisdom holds that fathers have few parenting skills and that mothers always know best. The single father is often considered a mythical creature, found only in sitcoms as an object of humor or pity. Where does that leave real single dads? Too often, it makes them susceptible to overcompensation or apathy.

Tez Brooks knows those feelings all too well. Hes traveled that road with his own children after an unexpected divorce. The Single Dad Detour is the result of his journey and the lessons hes learned along the way. Its a guidebook for the rocky road of single fatherhood, extending encouragement, confidence, and challenges, using specific examples from dads whove survived parenting and have hope to offer.

There are no unreachable requirements for perfect fatherhood here and no twisty theological mysteriesjust authentic, down-to-earth wisdom from one dad to another.
