“Right from the beginning of this book, I found myself circling things and highlighting like mad, and saying to my wife: ‘hey! listen to this!’…. An excellent resource for any man who is truly interested in doing a real man's job: Being an involved father to his children.”
—Parent Blogger's Network
“This is a great book that is relevant. Honestly, it is not just for Dads, but awesome for Fathers. A book that really does show the practical ways to interact, become involved and learn more about what is going on with your child.”
—Fresh Brewed Blog
“I enjoyed the whole tone of the book which didn't, like many Mommy-focused books, use fear or guilt. I particularly enjoyed the wit of Brott's writing style.”
—Delighted Blogger
“Not only does this book talk about the special relationships between a father and his kids, it also gives us mommies some great information as well. You will find a wealth of information written in a way that will keep your interest."
—Island Review
"This, thankfully, is not another one of those goofy, dumbed-down books (think sports metaphors and caveman references) that make such amusing--but unhelpful--gifts for dads. In fact, this is as informative as any traditional parenting book out there (including those aimed at the moms), and in some ways even better.

“If you haven't read Father for Life, you are missing something. Brott does a sensational job describing the journey of a father. It's funny, informative, and additional stress relief...”
—Ken Swarner, Ph.D., author of Whose Kids Are These Anyway?
“An essential guide for every dad.”
—MSN
"Strikingly clear and easy to navigate... Armin’s effortless and honest conversational style of writing takes the reader through a large amount of incredibly valuable information with smooth sailing."
—Blogger
"I bought this book a few years ago and find myself going back and reading it every 6 months or so. Inspires me to try and be a better dad."
