    About this ebook

    Retailers Choice Award winner, 2012
    From the creators of Fireproof comes an inspiring new story about everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners willingly stand up to the worst the world can offer. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they’re quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark.
    They know that God desires to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, but their children are beginning to drift farther and farther away from them. Will they be able to find a way to serve and protect those who are most dear to them? When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God . . . and to their children?

      If you enjoyed the story/movie Fireproof, this is a must read. This is a beautifully crafted story with a good Christian message

      Slow to start but did pick up. Read this for a Morning Book Group.
    • 5/5
      Well of course it is better than the movie (which is excellent; story not the acting necasarrily) has several important details that the movie leaves out that are essential to the greater story
    • 5/5
      As a police wife, I was so intrigued by this novel. This book hits so close to home and allows the reader to look at the job from a different perspective. It allows the reader to delve into the lives of four officers,struggling with their own demons. In the end, family and God is what is important, which so many officers lose sight of. I shared this book with my LEO and it gave him a new outlook on the job, on life, and on his family.
