Greetings,
Welcome to another edition of the Better Dads newsletter. This past year we were blessed to touch the lives of many men, women, and children through various seminars and workshops, as well as our single moms family camps, prison work, and fatherless boys mentoring programs. We anticipate some incredible new programs in the coming year, including the release of a new book and a new radio show! I look forward to meeting each of you as we present even more programs around the country. Thanks!

 New Book From Rick!
God gave men incredible power in their masculinity. With humor and honesty, The Power of a Man--Using Your Influence as a Man of Character, shows men how to live a life of great significance and healthy masculinity in a world afraid of real men.
Johnson demonstrates that:
Real men aren't passive-they wield positive influence to change the world.
Real men don't quit, no matter how tough things get.
Real men love, protect, and provide for their wives and children.
Real men defy cultural expectations and live by a code of honor.
Real men recognize that only masculinity bestows masculinity.
The Power of a Man is about being calm but confident, relaxed but prepared, kind but authentic, and bold but compassionate. It's about becoming the man you've always wanted to be-the man your world needs.

Message of the Day 
TIPS FOR DADS
· YOU are the biggest influence in your children's life-you are indispensable
· Fathers have been endowed with a huge generational power to impact people's lives for good or evil, for hundreds of years.
· Boys learn how to be a man, a husband, and a father by observing male role models (good or bad ones)
· Boys learn self-respect and respect of others by being respected by their fathers
· Character traits like nobility and honor are passed from father to son
· Men and boys long to live lives of significance-they hunger for adventure
· Your son (and daughters) may be the only people in the world who want to love and respect you without your having to earn it
· You must resolve any issues between you and your father, before you can grow to become the kind of father you want to be and that your children deserve
· Perhaps the greatest gift a man can give his children is to love their mother
· Teach your son (and daughters) self-discipline by holding him accountable for his actions and decisions |

| Thank You! |
| I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends and volunteers this past year. Your encouragement, support, and hard work allowed us to positively impact the lives of many thousands of people. I'd like to give an extra special thank you to three couples: Scott & Terry Rummell, Dick & Dot Landsverk, and Doug & Tracy Winslow. Your faithfulness has changed the lives of generations of people and families. May God bless you! |
