Tony PapadakisTony is the author of In the Beginning . . . Dads the first of a planned six-volume series called Fatherhood in Genesis. As a father, Tony has been a resident father, a nonresident father, and a stepfather. His creative, think outside-the-ox approach to fatherhood was the result of a serious study of what the Bible teaches about fatherhood. He learned that God calls all men to fatherhood, whether it is to be a father of his physical children, or to be a spiritual father to other boys. Fatherhood is what defines us as men. It is not just the ability to produce physical children but imparting ourselves as fathers to others that they may see our true Father in heaven. Tony has a Master's degree from Reformed Theological Seminary, Washington DC and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies at Lancaster Bible College. His goal is to teach biblical fatherhood to men, and to equip men to live that calling out and to encourage them to understand their fatherhood in the light of God's Fatherhood of us all. Tony lives in Southern Maryland with his dog and cat. His children-three of his own and a stepson--are adults and living on their own. He lost his wife to cancer in 2019. Read More Read Less
