This giveaway is closed.
Welcome to day two of the Week of Giveaways! We start today with author David Moore, author and speaker (follow him on Twitter @dgemoore). He has a new book out that is perfect as a Father’s Day gift, so it’s just in time for those of you stuck on ideas.
It’s called The Last Men’s Book You’ll Ever Need
It’s a Christian book, to be sure, but it’s not preachy – Moore writes in a Dave Barry-esque style that provides mental food for chewing, not sermons for yawning. My husband has been enjoying this book before bed, and I’ve been reading over his shoulder from time to time. My favorite chapter so far is “Don’t Blow Your Brains Out,” a short essay about the decline of quality reading material in everyday family’s libraries.
Each chapter stands alone, so you can skip around and read what interests you, or you can read it cover to cover. I highly recommend Moore’s book for the man in your life – especially if you’re short on Father’s Day gift ideas!
B&H Publishing is giving five Simple Mom readers a copy of The Last Men’s Book You’ll Ever Need
To win, here’s how to enter:

The giveaway is open worldwide, and it lasts until this Friday, May 29. I’ll draw the two winners this weekend.
I hope you win! Check back in a few hours for another giveaway.

I love the fact that my husband is so good-natured. He has taught me the meaning of patience and given me the ability of insight. He’s truly a wonderful man.
My husband is an amazingly caring person. I have never met anyone who has a bad thing to say about him. He uses this gift with our daughter who has significant special needs and she just lights up when she sees daddy.

My husband makes it a point to show our kids that he loves me with his words and through his actions. It makes him happy, me happy and the kiddos happy to see we love each other!
I love my husbands amazing devotion to his family – - both me and the kids, as well as his own parents and sibblings.
My favorite thing about my husband is how the corners of his eyes crinkle when he smiles.
Oh, and he can fix anything. And he loves me way more than I deserve!

One of the favourite things about my husband is his ability to say exactly what I need to hear when I’ve had a bad day or when I’m struggling with something. I also love watching my husband interact with our 2.5 year old son and listening to his hearty laugh when our son is acting rather silly!

Rebecca´s last blog post…just needed to post
My husband is such a giving person. He almost always puts my needs and wants ahead of his own, it’s an amazing quality that I try to have myself.
EVERYTHING my husband does is for our family and I truly love that quality about him. He provides for us (and offers me the opportunity to stay home with our children) and always makes sure we are taken care of. He is selfless when it comes to our family.
The best quality of my husband is his gentle nature.
i appreciate how hard my husband is striving follow Jesus in everything that he does, even through faults. I see daily how he seeks for everything (finances, movies, conversations and sex) to be godly.
My favorite quality in my husband is his understanding and the way he interacts with our son.
My favorite quality in my husband is his ability to be his goofy self, without wondering what other people are thinking of him.
The men in my life have the wonderful ability to be able to play well with kids. My mind is always on other things like the dishes that need doing, etc.
After almost 15 years of marriage, I love that my husband still can make me laugh, and still knows how to make me feel truly special and loved. He’s also a very “hands-on” father and strives to give each of our children his individual attention.
He is so encouraging! Even when I am feeling like I have been a fussy momma, he tells me I am the best mom in the world. That inspires me to try to live up to it!

I think my favorite quality is his desire to learn – about me, the children, other intrests, anything. And his smile – he’s got a beautiful smile…
His insight. My husband truly works to learn from past experiences. It gives him a better understanding people and our surrounding world. I respect and admire his insight.
I love that my husband is a great father!

My husband is patient and kind, and that’s why I married him.

He’s easy going and has a great sense of humor.
My husband is so kind and gentle and funny! Yes, I could not pick just one. He is a godly man and it is so neat to see him become more and more the man that God wants him to be. I am so blessed!!
I love that my husband is so generous with his time/money; that he’s a great dad; that he listens to me; and that he buys me flowers!
I can’t possibly narrow it down to one favorite quality! I love his ability to laugh everyday, how he smiles all the time – even when he shouldn’t, how firm his hug is and how perfectly I fit inside it, the smell of his neck, his ability to love even the most unlovable people, his determination to do whatever he is doing well, how he loves our son and me unconditionally. Oh my, how the list goes on…
My husband is a great father. He has a great sense of humor and is passing that on to our kids. They all just love life, and it’s great to be around them.
My husband is such a good father. When I see him with my boys I just see him as such a real man. I love that.

I love when my husband is silly. He just get so goofy and makes me laugh.
He is a protector. He protects us physically, but also emotionally, socially, etc. He helps me feel safe and secure.
I love that my husband supported me as I stayed home full-time for 20 years, and home schooled my kids until they went to high school. So many of my friends’ husbands were chomping at the bit for them to get back to work and I never felt that pressure.
My hubbys is very calm and relaxed. =)
his faith
My husband is always thinking of others. He has the best of intentions and truly feels bad when things don’t work out best.
I like that my Husband spends time with the kids!
Thanks!
Jen

My husband is the most steadfast person I know.
My dad has the most generous heart of anyone I know- I have never seen someone who loves giving gifts as much as him and all he ever says he wants is “world peace.”
