David Jones's "Making the Case: Intentional Father Engagement" offers a compelling and timely resource for professionals working in family services. Drawing from both research and real-world examples from the Fathers' First and Bronx Fatherhood Programs in New York City, Jones demonstrates why father engagement initiatives deserve greater priority in family support services.

This work is pragmatic in its approach. Rather than merely theorizing, Jones provides concrete, evidence-based strategies that practitioners can immediately implement. The book balances academic research with powerful testimonials from fathers, creating a persuasive case for meeting fathers "where they are" when designing programs. What distinguishes this book is its focus on sustainability. Jones places emphasis on creating fatherhood programs that leverage short-term interventions leading to lasting change. For educators, consultants, and family service professionals, this book serves as both a practical guide and a compelling argument for why intentional father engagement is essential for child development and family well-being. "Making the Case" successfully bridges theory and practice, making it an indispensable addition to the professional literature on family services.
