Dr. James Dobson writes that his favorite book HIDE OR SEEK is dedicated in deepest respect to his father.

AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT HIS FATHER:

He says that his influence on his life has been profound.

He watched his father throughout his childhood and his father never disappointed him.

He never compromised his inner convictions and personal ethics.

The values of his father became his values and the life of his father has charted the path for his own life.

I am also a father and I am asking the question, “What do my children say about me?”
