My friend,

In our modern culture, the very idea of fatherhood has become distorted and devalued.

I know you see it in the media, fathers are often portrayed as disengaged, emotionally distant, or even absent altogether. Sadly, people have nowhere to look to see examples of good, Godly dads.

But what if I told you there’s a better way? A path that leads to gracious, gospel-centered fathers who can display to their families a glimpse of the love of our Heavenly Father?

This Father’s Day, I want to help you rediscover the power of biblical fatherhood — and 1517 has a great resource to guide you on that journey.

That resource is Being Dad - a book I wrote that delves deep into the heart of what it means to be a father, grounded in the timeless wisdom of Scripture.

As we approach Father's Day, we want to provide this valuable resource to as many fathers as possible, which is why, when you support 1517 with a gift of any amount today, we will send you a FREE copy of Being Dad as a token of our thanks for your partnership.

In Being Dad, I bring my failures and successes as a family man and my Biblical scholarship to bear on the difficult task of fatherhood, offering a fresh and insightful perspective.

Unlike other books on fatherhood, Being Dad recognizes the struggles of fatherhood and offers the one thing that can sustain dads — the forgiveness and love of our Heavenly Father.

Being Dad reminds all of us that forgiven fathers are a gift from God, for they have been given the gospel and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim it to their families. This truth has the power to produce gracious, Christ-centered fathers who can display a powerful picture of the love of their Heavenly Father, drawing their children into the embrace of saving faith.

When you support 1517 with a gift of any amount this Father’s Day, we will send you a FREE copy of Being Dad as our thanks for your partnership.

1517 understands that the challenges facing fathers today are immense. The world often paints a bleak picture of fatherhood, leaving many men feeling discouraged, inadequate, or even hopeless. But this book’s message is one of hope, redemption, and the transformative power of the Gospel.

This Father’s Day, I urge you to seize the opportunity to invest in the lives of fathers and families in your community.

Whether you are raising children in your home, have grown children, or want to encourage a father in your family or your church, Being Dad is a valuable resource that makes the perfect addition to any father’s library.

Your gift of any amount will not only provide you with a copy of Being Dad, but it will also support the critical work of 1517 as we strive to equip and empower fathers to fulfill one of the highest earthly callings they will ever receive.

Your support means the world to us. Together, we can cultivate a culture that celebrates the vital role of fathers and points hearts towards the transformative love of our Heavenly Father.

In Christ,

Dr. Scott Keith
