"What you hold in your hands is more than just a book. It is magic! Dr. Keith understands the increasingly counter-cultural yet vital truth: that there is no force in a child's life more potent than that of a good father, the kind that points to the goodness of our Heavenly Father. Packed with all manner of everyday insights and amazing stories-not to mention theological wisdom-whether you had a good father, a not-so-good father, or no father at all, Being Dad will leave you in a puddle on the floor." - David Zahl, Director of Mockingbird Ministries
"Scott Keith has established himself as a first rate scholar of Melanchthon and the Lutheran Confessions. But for all of his scholarly enterprise, he is first of all a husband and father who has thought extensively about the vocation of father. His book sets out his theological and practical reflections in a wonderful conversation with his dear wife, Joy, and their children. I can't imagine a more helpful resource for a family or a congregation anchoring itself in the deep traditions of the faith." -Rev. Dr. James Arne Nestingen, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Church History, Luther Seminary
