—ABOUT THE BOOK: To lead a life of legacy is not for the faint of heart, but the rewards you reap are simply incalculable.

At first glance, you might think this book is for dads. And you would be right! But it was designed for so much more than that. The intention is to help you grow and learn. To inspire you and motivate you. To make you think, to make you laugh, even to make you cry. To provoke thoughts and plans that maybe you haven’t considered before and blaze a path forward, growing closer to those you love most in your lives and deepening your relationship with the Lord. It is a book about parenting and leadership and the nuances that tie these together. No matter your title—Dad, Mom, Husband, or Wife, or those who one day aspire to be any of these—this book is for you! Take a whimsical, intentional peek behind the curtain of Trent’s life as a dad, seeing glimpses of his life when things went right and when things didn’t necessarily go as planned. Developing Dad is a storybook, an instruction manual, a bit of an autobiography, and a leadership guide all rolled into one, with the overarching goal to point you to Christ and the beauty of a life lived within Him.

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.” —Jeremiah 29:11
