Book Review: All Pro Dad

For men who feel like they are lacking in their relationship with their children, Mark Merrill's book, All Pro Dad, is the book to read.

Throughout the book, Merrill describes "the seven essentials to be a hero to your kids."  His 7 M's are Makeup, Mind-set, Motive, Method, Model, Message, and Master. Each essential is connected to the two basic fundamentals: Love and Leadership. 

Merrill humbly describes times he has failed in his journey as a father and husband.  He doesn't claim to be a perfect dad, only a dad who learns from his mistakes. Merrill also includes advice from other notable men such as Tony Dungy, Truett Cathy, Dr. Ben Carson, and authors Stephen and Alex Kendrick.


As I read through the book, there were many things that I felt were just common sense.  However, I had to remind myself that there are many men who were never shown how to be an All Pro Dad from their own fathers.

I recommend this book to any father wanting to strengthen his relationship with his children.

I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through the Booksneeze program for the purpose of an honest review.
