STANDING OVER HOME

"Become the father you were never taught to be."

Standing Over Home is written to help broken sons—young men who lacked the love and direction of a father figure—discover respect and learn missed lessons about love and protection that were never passed down to them during their formative years.
Through the eyes of author Dennis Powell, division champion L.A. Dodger pitcher, Standing Over Home metaphorically conveys the importance of a father’s role as protector and priest over his home and family. Just as a batter “stands over home” with the burden of hitting or advancing the runner, so does a father “stand over his home” to provide for, guide, and protect his family, moving them ever forward.
The book draws from the real account of a son who faced and overcame some heartbreaking tragedies in life.
After reading Dennis’ book, you will learn how to stay in game of life and score with your son(s).

Sadly, my father didn’t realize he was losing his four boys because of his lack of involvement with us. If we had been teeth, we would have been “never brushed” and dangerously close to falling out.
Not every man grew up with an example of what a strong, present father looks like; my father was one of those men. Even today, too many sons are left home alone to figure it out for themselves when the stakes couldn’t be any higher. Standing Over Home is more than a book. It is a guide, a challenge, and a call to action. To reclaim our positions as leaders in the home and to break the cycle of neglect.
Now, open up the pages of Standing Over Home and let God show you how He can rewrite and redeem the broken relationship between you and your family, especially your son(s). Do it while there is still time.
