Book cover of Dad's Life Lessons Volume 1 by Justin Matthew: a father and his four daughters sit on rocks watching a sunset over the ocean, with a cross in the sky.

Four kinds of lessons, one for each daughter on the rock

The book is organised around the four words on its cover. Each chapter is short enough to read over breakfast and ends with something to talk about together.

Wisdom

How to choose friends, handle money, and make decisions you won't regret at 30.

"Your reputation arrives before you do. Send it somewhere good."

Faith

Keeping God close when life gets loud, and what to do when prayers feel unanswered.

"Faith isn't knowing the whole road. It's taking the next step anyway."

Advice

The practical stuff: first jobs, first cars, first heartbreak, and how to ask for help.

"Read the contract. Then read it again."

Inspiration

Stories from Dad's own life, the wins and the mistakes, so you can learn from both.

"You are braver than the moment you're in."

The story behind the book

"I won't always be in the room when my daughters need advice. So I wrote it down."

Justin Matthew is a businessman, a man of faith, and above all a dad to four daughters. Somewhere between school runs and late nights at work, he started keeping notes: the things he'd learned the hard way and wanted his girls to learn the easy way.

Those notes became this book. It's written to them, but it's for any parent who wants the right words, and any young woman who could use a father's voice in her corner.
