Author Description

This book examines the parenting practices of David O. McKay. When he was in the First Presidency of the Church and had children at home, as well as grandchildren, he embraced a new fatherhood where men were more nurturing and involved in their children's lives. He seemed to be ahead of the curve in his fathering style. This book shares President McKay's parenting approaches, inviting readers to learn from his best practices. There are no other books available with this focus of taking a contemporary fathering theory to take a closer look. The unique attraction of this book comes from how the author had extensive access to the journals of David O. McKay and found them to convey his deepest feelings, convictions, and experiences about parenthood.
