The book All Pro Dad
by Mark Merrill contains “seven essentials to be a hero to your kids.”
Published by Thomas Nelson, this book has eight chapters, as well as a
conclusion and appendix.
The seven essentials in this book are what Merrill refers to
as the 7 Ms. They are makeup, mindset, motive, method, model, message, and
master. Each chapter poses a question for the reader:
Makeup—Who am I?
Mindset—What’s my purpose?
Motive—Why do I do what I do?
Method—How can I better love my family?
Model—What should I model to my children?
Message—What do I need to share with others?
Master—Who or what am I living for?
Merrill’s conclusions are the result of the research he has
done, which includes on the job training from being a husband of more than two
decades and a father of five children. Aside from sharing wisdom he has picked
up through trial and error, he also shares insight that he has gleaned from
interviews.
In this book Merrill shares excerpts from interviews he has
conducted with men like Super Bowl winning coach of the Indianapolis Colts Tony
Dungy, Former governor of Florida Jeb Bush, Chick-fil-A founder and CEO S.
Truett Cathy, NFL broadcaster for CBS James “JB” Brown, and Grammy-Award
winning Christian recording artist Michael W. Smith.
I really enjoyed reading this book, and I would highly
recommend it to any husband and father. The book is available from the author's website, www.markmerrill.com
