Restoring the Heart of Man

   

    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 strategies on how to stand in and score with your son(s).  

Breaking the Cycle of Neglect

 

    Sadly, my father didn’t realize he was losing his four boys because of his absence from our lives. If we had been teeth, we would have been left unbrushed—neglected, and dangerously close to falling out. 
    Not every man grows up with an example of what a strong, present father looks like. My father didn’t—and today, too many sons are still left to figure it out on their own, when the stakes couldn’t be higher.  
    Standing Over Home is more than a book. It’s a guide, a challenge, and a call to action—for men to step back into their role with intention and responsibility, and to break the cycle of neglect before it’s passed on again. 
    Inside, you’ll learn how to show up consistently, rebuild trust where it’s been lost, communicate with your children in ways that reach them, and lead your home with both strength and compassion.  
    Open these pages and confront what’s been avoided. Let God begin the work of restoring what’s been strained or broken between you and your family—especially your sons.  
    Do it while there is still time.
