I think the best books you should consider are self development books to make you the best you can be. Being a father has all sorts of challenges and no two paths are the same.

However, if you focus on being the best man you can be, loving, kind, hard working, generous, committed, etc, you will have all the resources you need to be a great person, which will make you a great father.

Fathers are absolutely role models, so make yourself the best person you can be and that will also make you the best father you can be.
