Fathering Strong

“Bruce Stapleton's new Fathering Strong publication is an uplifting experience for anyone interested in improving themselves in their personal role as a father. Being a strong father is probably the single most challenging task we face as individuals at any age or in any cultural context. Seeking God's Love and Support as we tap into His intentional plan for us as fathers is the key to transcending our own unique circumstances. Sharing interesting testimonials and real-life stories as illustrations, the reader finds real hope and help. Whether we were blessed with wonderful fathers as role models or were abandoned by our own worldly fathers before our first breath, Bruce shows us how God the Father's Love (and Word) has laid out a plan for us to follow as we continuously strive to be our best selves as fathers. Personally, God found a way to help me, growing up as a fatherless child, to find His Love and Grace as a means to secure and improve my own personal role as a father. Following God's plan, I eventually went on to mentor and train thousands of other fathers to find and develop their own path. In this new book, Bruce has captured how God's Word can lead you to your own personal transformation into the worldly father your children need and deserve while living together with our children under His unrelenting love and His purposeful guidance. "Fathering Strong" is a great resource for dads at any stage in life.”

“I'm thrilled to announce Bruce Stapleton's book, "Fathering Strong," as the winner of an Honorable Mention at The BookFest Awards. This year's competition was fierce, and Bruce Stapleton should be very proud of this stellar accomplishment. Today, more than ever, it is important to recognize authors and creatives for the vital part they play in crafting the stories that shape our world and define our humanity.

“This book about fathering is worth your time. I appreciated its focus on what we control - which is the process of fathering. Bruce brings valuable insights to this process from his corporate and entrepreneurial background with concepts like planning and goals. Finally, the content is practical and relatable as he draws on years of experience in ministries focused on the process of fathering. It is structured to work in a small group discussion setting or to read on your own.”

“Such an amazing read! Being a father and keeping your faith are two paths with their own problem sets and getting to read first hand accounts from fathers and their faith was such an uplifting and motivating feeling! I will continue to come back to this book and use it as I continue to strengthen my faith as I walk the path of fatherhood! Cannot recommend this book enough to other fathers!”
