E. Douglas Clark

The book got my attention right in the preface by stating that "It may be, then, that fathers ... need more encouragement in fulfilling their divinely ordained parental role (than mothers). (Page XVIII)

Still, it took me several chapters before I began to get into this book. Then in the last few chapters the authors begin to pull it together showing that this same theme - the father son relationship - is in the Old Testament, and is intimately tied with the plan of Salvation. Those last few chapters brought this book to 5 stars and made me decide that this book is worth more than one reading.

This book is full of meat. In other words, it is quite dense. Just how dense is hinted at by the footnote numbers starting over on every page. This is no novel that the authors dashed off in a few months. Looking at the annotations and references, it must have taken a long time to write. Hurrah for E. Douglas Clark and Robert S. Clark for persisting in putting this together.
