Well, here I am, my first posting as well. I too am liking the book very much and enjoyed reading it (at least getting started) with Cari and talking through some of the points.
My comment on the statistics regarding the descendants of Edwards is that while the author is clearly contrasting these stats to his own family to try to illustrate the difference a father makes, he falls into the trap of defining (at least showing) success in the ways the world would, such as becoming lawyers, doctors, politicians, etc. It would be much better if an illustration could be made saying 50 descendants were priests to their family, 75 protectors, etc. I do realize this is difficult due to those attributes being more subjective, but it should be said that just because you are a doctor it does not make you a person who is clearly devoted to Christ and your family (which is a key goal).
Happy reading,
J
