Excerpts from "If I Were Your Daddy, This Is What You'd Learn" by Julia Espey

Originally appeared on spirituality.com.

Julia Espey, author

Writing this book truly has been a labor of love. The vision for this book began with the hope of helping one child, my son, so it’s already a success. But if the ideas in this book touch the life of just one other child, maybe your child . . . then I’ll have my reward for all the effort I’ve put into it. . . . I hope the wisdom, stories, lessons, and mind-sets in this book will make as profound a difference in your life, as writing it has in mine. And so from my heart to yours, I pass it along. The priceless gift now belongs to you.

Jack Canfield, co-creator of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series
