This is how the story begins, it was a Wednesday night and I went to a dance every Wednesday night at the P.S. Pavilion; a nice big dance hall like the big ones we had in Chicago, with the big bands. I felt like I was about 18 years old and I danced every dance. I had a few drinks and I left the dance about 11 :00 P.M. I got to bed about 11:45 p.m. I woke up about 5 a.m the next morning. I couldn't breathe, I was having a tough time breathing; so I called 911. I knew I was in some kind of trouble so I took my pajamas off, put on shorts and with that I put my medicare card and blue cross/blue shield card, and my driver's license in my pocket I waited out side. It seemed like an hour but it was probably only a few minutes, before the fire dept arrived with their wagon. I was standing in the driveway, waiting for them to arrive. I said, "I'm having a hard time breathing would you please give me some oxygen." They kept asking, what's your name, . . .where do you live? I kept asking them to please give me some oxygen. I was having a tough time breathing.

Authors Battle, Sanders and Watts tackle these questions and more in this tremendous book destined to change the lives of all who read it and truly want to make a difference in their children's lives. "This is a great book. Daddy Look offers a focused approach to becoming a godly father. Using the story of "Daddy Look," it summarizes these lessons in five key principles: -Being a Godly Man -Being a Man of Character -Being a Teacher -Being a Provider -Being a Protector "This book is clearly written with Christian fathers as a target audience; however, men without a Christian background would still glean much from the principles in the book. I whole-heartedly recommend this book. It's a great read, and I'm very proud that my Pastor is one of its authors." -Grover Johnson, Single Dad "This book will both challenge and provoke change in any father who takes the time to read it and then makes a commitment to apply it. I truly wish this book was around when I was raising my two children as a sole provider and self-sufficient single Mom" -Dr. Anita Latin-Byrdsong - Founder, OVL Foundation A father with the responsibility of raising up a child and being a role model to look up to... "I felt like I failed recently while my 11 year old daughter asked me if I love her. It was a gut shot that caused me to stop everything and have a heart felt talk with her. I realize now that she has been saying "DaddyLook!" but in many different ways. My daughter and I have a new found relationship that feels much different than before. But had I listened to her cries sooner this could have been avoided and she could have detoured from the feelings of being lonely and unloved. The book Daddy Look gives a great understanding on the complications of parenting and how to avoid or deal with these situations in life. -Michael Pine www.daddylookbook.com
