Across the political spectrum, unwed fatherhood is denounced as one of the leading social problems of today. Doing the Best I Can is a strikingly rich, paradigm-shifting look at fatherhood among inner-city men often dismissed as “deadbeat dads.” Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson examine how couples in challenging straits come together and get pregnant so quickly—without planning. The authors chronicle the high hopes for forging lasting family bonds that pregnancy inspires, and pinpoint the fatal flaws that often lead to the relationship’s demise. They offer keen insight into a radical redefinition of family life where the father-child bond is central and parental ties are peripheral. Drawing on years of fieldwork, Doing the Best I Can shows how mammoth economic and cultural changes have transformed the meaning of fatherhood among the urban poor. Intimate interviews with more than 100 fathers make real the significant obstacles faced by low-income men at every step in the familial process: from the difficulties of romantic relationships, to decision-making dilemmas at conception, to the often celebratory moment of birth, and finally to the hardships that accompany the early years of the child's life, and beyond.

The first-person account of the family that changed the American retail landscape that Dave Ramsey calls a must-read. Longtime Dollar General CEO Cal Turner, Jr. shares his extraordinary life as heir to the company founded by his father, Cal Turner, Sr., and his grandfather, a dirt farmer turned Depression-era entrepreneur. Cal's narrative is at its heart a father-son story, from his childhood in Scottsville, Kentucky, where business and family were one, to the triumph of reaching the Fortune 300 -- at the cost of risking that very father/son relationship. Cal shares how the small-town values with which he was raised helped him guide Dollar General from family enterprise to national powerhouse. Chronicling three generations of a successful family with very different leadership styles, Cal Jr. shares a wealth of wisdom from a lifetime on the entrepreneurial front lines. He shows how his grandfather turned a third-grade education into an asset for success. He reveals how his driven father hatched the game-changing dollar price point strategy and why it worked. And he explains how he found his own leadership style when he took his place at the helm -- values-based, people-oriented, and pragmatic. Cal's story provides a riveting look at the family love and drama behind Dollar General's spectacular rise, pays homage to the working-class people whose no-frills needs helped determine its rock-bottom prices, and shares the life and lessons of one of America's most compelling business leaders.

You can tell a lot about a man by what others call him: father, husband, brother, leader. In the same way, you can learn much about God by understanding what He was called in the Old Testament "El Shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, El Gibbor, " and "Jehovak Melek" are just a few of the over 80 names that people in the Old Testament used to call upon God in different situations. In times of need or times of praise, they used specific names for God that focused on a certain characteristic of His, or on a promise that He made. Today, as we learn God's names and what they mean, we can begin to know Him more intimately. We discover what He wants for us, how He provides for our needs and learn new, deeper ways to approach Him in prayer. In "My Father's Names" you'll find out what the Old Testament names of God mean and how they can bring you closer to your Heavenly Father. Elmer L. Towns is vice president of Liberty University and dean of their School of Religion. He travels widely conducting conferences on Sunday School and church growth, and is teacher of the 2,000-member Pastor's Sunday School class at Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is the author of more than 40 books, including Ten of Today's Most Innovative Churches.
