Let’s be honest—dads are the hardest people to shop for. Every year when Father’s Day rolls around, the list of things they want or need is far too short. And while socks and ties are always a good option, sometimes it’s fun to mix things up. Don’t have any ideas? Try giving him a new belt, cufflinks, or some art for his office.
Or if your dad likes a good book, get him started on some summer reading with one of his favorite gospel topics. Not only will it give him an excuse to dive into some fascinating subjects, but you might just become the favorite of the family while he’s at it (we’re kidding … mostly). In any case, here are seven books that we think we think he’ll love. What can we say except you’re welcome?
