If you’ve hung around CSPP long enough, you know that we are downright partial to the Concordian Husbands/Fathers of Perpetual Parturition, and with good reason.
One of the really great things Dad does around here on a regular basis is handle the older kids’ bedtime process whilst I wrangle the baby down. Lots of sound catechesis occurs during this time; everything from Guy Stuff to reading together from some of their beloved sciencey books.
The centerpiece of their time together, of course, is evening devotions and prayers. Bits of traditional liturgy figure in the formula, but we’re always on the lookout for good supplemental resources. Last year the boys cleverly gave Dad The Victor Journey Through the Bible, which has seen lots of use. It’s also been a handy quick reference for me, a no-prep show-and-tell for when we do Bible stories or history.(You may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere—I remember paying at least five bucks less than that for it, with free shipping, from Amazon last year.)
Now I just have to help the boys find this year's Father's Day gift...(any ideas out there? :) ).

I'm getting a rotisserie for the grill.
Oh, and it's for him, not me. ::snort::
Shrew, anything that encourages grilling is a great gift in my book, because that's less cooking that I have to do. At least that's how it works at our place ;)
Well in that case I have a great "Man Iron" recommendation, as that's less ironing wifey has to do too :D (Seriously, my husband LOVES that thing!)
Sorry, no help on the dad/son time books. We're not there yet agewise. I liked your reccs though; we're DK fans!

I am so thankful for this at my house too.
And I always appreciate hearing wives praise their husbands. It's so rare these days "in the world".
I guess that sounded a little awkward. It should read "a wife praise her husband." :P
Outdoor fire pit... It is a magnet for family time. Even pulls the teens from PlayStation and Tv.
Light a fire in it and they will come. Great time for relaxing,and a wonderful time for talking and memorable conversations.
One of the best Father's Day gifts ever! Everyone loves it - the big question around here, "Can we have a fire tonight?" Just remember to stock up on marshmallows! Debbie S.
