From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral—Dad, How Do I?—comes a book that’s part memoir/part inspiration/part DIY. Rob Kenney’s father left him and his seven siblings when he was fourteen years old, and the youngest had to fend for themselves. He wished that he had someone who could teach him the basics—how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly—as well as succeed in life. But he and his siblings had to figure these things out on their own. Now a father himself, Rob decided that he would help people out by providing how-to tips as well as advice—and even throw in some bad dad jokes. He started a YouTube channel for anyone looking for fatherly advice, and in the course of three months, gained a following of nearly 2.5 million subscribers, with millions of views for his how-to and inspirational videos. In this book, Rob shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with the strength of faith and family, and offers inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides 50 practical DYI instructions (30 of which will be unique to the book), illustrated with helpful line drawings.

Have you struggled to see God fathering you throughout your life? Julie McGhghy began the first Father's Day card she sent to her biological father when she was 14 years old with Hey Dad, It's Me! After meeting him when she was 16 years old, they built a relationship that always seemed guarded. At her dad's funeral, she learned why. Julie's dad felt guilty for having left her and her brother when they were small children and letting another man adopt them. For many years afterward, she mentally constructed letters she would have sent her dad explaining why he didn't need to feel guilty. Julie was not fatherless. God fathered her better than any earthly father could have. Julie is one of millions of people who grew up with a physically or emotionally absent father. If you are one of them, or if you minister to someone who is one of them, then read Hey Dad, It's Me! to learn how God has also fathered you. If you don't feel loved or lovable because your father was not present and didn't love you, read how God loved Julie, and loves you, unconditionally and does all the things you wanted your father to do. If you declare by faith that God is "God the Father," but you are unable to see that God has actually fathered you throughout your life, read Hey Dad, It's Me! Julie will help you see that God is not just your Heavenly Father, but He actively fathers you here and now because He loves you.
