Bad Dads of the Bible Synopsis
Eight mistakes of godly men of the Bible...and how you can become the father God intended...

Some of the most noted, celebrated and godly men in the Bible made some very big mistakes when it came to raising their children. Roland Warren calls these errors “bad dad” mistakes.

Bad Dads of the Bible examines these mistakes, brings them into a contemporary setting, and gives today’s dads much-needed advice on how to avoid them. Moreover, should a dad unfortunately make some of these common mistakes, this book will give him practical advice and an easy-to-follow roadmap to help him repair his relationships with his children before it’s too late.

As dads study the examples of the fatherhood legacies of men such as Abraham, David, and Eli—men who loved God deeply—they will learn from their missteps. More importantly, this book can serve as a clarion call for men to take action now to be the fathers that God designed them to be.

Each chapter includes Reflection, Correction, and Connection sections at the end to help dads easily apply what they have read, as well as a “Good Dad Promise” to pave the way for future good parenting decisions.

This book isn't just for the Christian dad, because the fatherhood principles a dad can learn from this book are timeless. 

Endorsements for Bad Dads of the Bible
“As an eyewitness to the poverty and despair of millions in America and around the world, I can say with conviction that a remarkable proportion of the world's social problems can be traced to a single cause: the dysfunction of men as fathers, husbands and leaders. Roland Warren has a big idea in this book: help men become better fathers and we can not only change our country, we can change the world.”  —Richard Stearns, President of World Vision US and author of UNFINISHED

"Bad Dads of the Bible is a fantastic book that takes a much needed look at key men in the Bible through the important lens of fatherhood. No doubt, this book will be helpful to many. Let's face it. To be a Kingdom Man, a father must avoid mistakes that can damage his children for generations. Bad Dads of the Bible is a practical guide that can help a father do just that." —Dr. Tony Evans, President, The Urban Alternative, Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, Author-Kingdom Man: Every Man's Destiny, Every Woman's Dream

"Roland Warren has been an amazingly courageous crusader for Fatherhood in the midst of what some have called the Fatherless Generation. Now he has created a valuable resource focused on the reality of the men in scripture who were disasters when it came to being a Dad. Read this and follow his examples of bad Dads so you can become a good one.  If you know a less than wonderful father who has a difficult time seeing himself and where he could improve, this very insightful work just might do the trick." —Stephen Arterburn, Founder of New Life Ministries and Women of Faith, Best selling author of Every Man's Battle, The Seven Minute Marriage Solution and The Life Recovery Bible.

Kudos to Roland for this eye-opener.” —Red McCombs, Owner, McCombs Enterprises, Co-Founder,  Clear Channel Communications, Former Owner - San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Vikings
