CALABASAS, Calif., June 2, 2011 — Newly released parenting book A Dad’s Point-of-View: We ARE Half the Equation takes on tough parenting and other issues with wit and humor, challenging you to be the best parent you can be. From raising teenagers to second marriages and family and faith, author Bruce Sallan (http://www.BruceSallan.com) dispels many of the current-day parenting myths and provides practical tips for parenting and marital success.

Taking the best of his columns, A Dad’s Point-of-View (published in over 100 newspapers and websites), about life as a single divorced dad now remarried, Sallan brings it all together in the one parenting and relationship book that readers will totally connect to and catch themselves saying, “I’m right there with you, Bruce!” In fact, many will be turning to it again and again as they face the challenges of raising today’s youths.

And for the thousands of Sallan fans, it truly delivers. Not only is it receiving very positive feedback, but it is has received numerous stellar reviews including one from Stan Lee, Marvel Comics, creator of Spiderman, The Fantastic Four and X-men.

There too, we choose not to hide the blemishes of life, but to discuss them in an entertaining and helpful manner. Must reading for all parents and would-be parents.”

Sallan’s goal with the book is simple. “It’s my hope that families of all faiths and circumstances will enjoy it and benefit from it as they face the many challenges of parenting. Through my own stories and experiences, I share from the heart about raising my sons, surviving after a divorce, adding a new step-parent to the mix, and how to have more joy in the small things, such as family traditions.”

I LOVE this review by @azmomofmanyhats  

"I had the pleasure of meeting Bruce Sallan through the wonderful world of social media. As a result, I have become familiar with his website, radio show, and his book. I was fortunate to have received copy of his book, "A Dad's Point of View," just after its release. I am very impressed with the work. Bruce comes from a standpoint that is opposite mine from a gender standpoint as a mother, yet the things he addresses are universal concerns of parents, whether they are mom or dad. Through some humor, sarcasm, and straight talk, Bruce confronts the challenges of raising children and marriage in today's complicated world. He presents a "real world" look at the things that are the concerns of his family, and probably most families in general, from a person that is living the challenges and navigating them day to day. From dating to driving, hypocrisy to happiness, toddlers to teenagers, fun to frustration, Bruce opens up his life as an example of what Dads (and moms) face in the raising of children.

"A Dad's Point of View" is a pleasure to read in it's conversational, short story style. Bruce's personality and writing style create a literary experience that shows the difficulties that Dads face in raising children. However, the experience is not limited to understanding dads. The topics he addresses show that although approaches to the mechanics of parenting may differ, the heart of a parent whether dad or mom, is the same. I'd recommend this as reading for both dads and moms to better understand the roles and challenges of the fathers in children's lives, as well as a place to find similarity and unity in our shared roles as parents."
