Legacy of Joy: A Devotional for Fathers by Mike Nappa & Dr. Norm Wakefield (1992 Hardcover in Dust Jacket)  

For fathers, step-fathers, grandfathers, uncles, or any other men who serve as father figures in the lives of children, Legacy of Joy includes 75 insightful devotions that encourage men to take advantage of their opportunities to plant joy in the lives of children. Fathers can impact the world from within their own families, simply by leaving the gift of joy in the childhood memories of their children. It's these memories kids will cherish the rest of their lives. Men will be challenged to purposefully plant joy in the lives of children; to discover the lasting value of happy childhood memories; to be encouraged-with God's help-to give the gift of joy to their children regardless of whether or not they experienced that joy in their own childhood; and to discover practical tools they can use to create such a legacy of joy.

Notes on Condition/Edition ratings:

Fine – means like new, but any book produced over 10 years ago isn't “brand new” or even “new.”  Using the same term as coin collectors, “can’t guarantee it is uncirculated, but it looks very much like it could be.”  Booksellers need similar grading to describe this...

Like New – A new book, no marks no damage (except maybe remainder marks or shelf-wear) except not obtained directly from the publisher or in packaging from the publisher.  Same sort of thing about grading as Fine above except generally used for newer publication dates with title still in print.  

Good – How someone else might take care of a book. Also referred to as “standard.” This is the most likely condition for books of this age & title, shows the book has been read or previously owned.   

 Acceptable – How a young child, student or a librarian might take care of a book. (Either trying to make sure someone doesn't steal it by plastering ownership everywhere, filled it with copious notes or a book that has been damaged.)

Poor – Combination of “acceptable” factors above. Most likely with water damage as well. Might have missing pages (you should ask).  Usually requires repair to be usable.  

Near – Means “almost” in an optimistic sense. e.g., “Near Fine” means very good, but on the high end.

1st Thus – Unique somehow, maybe 1st paperback, new illustrator, misprint or even the 1st edition. A collector might desire this copy for their collection.
