Things We Wish We Had Said: Reflections of a Father and His Grown Son - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Is anything tougher or more fragile than the bond between father and son? Things We Wish We Had Said is a collection of reflections on this unique relationship. With refreshing honesty, Tony and Bart Campolo admit that they sometimes failed to communicate their feelings to each other. By focusing on that failure, they offer hope to other families. It is impossible to read their letters and not reflect on how you would express yourself to your parent or your child.

These letters are filled with the stories of a family growing up together. In this book you will share the wonder years of the Campolos:
• The fifth grader who wanted desperately to be accepted by his classmates
• The much-traveled father who wanted to share as much time as he could with his son
• The awkward years of growing up in the shadow of a strong personality
• Discovering faith from within a pastor-professor's family
• How the father grew up in the city streets of Philidelphia and his son grew up in the suburbs of the city

Tony poignantly closes one letter with the thought: "If you think me good as a father, it is in part due to the fact that you were a good son. We helped to create each other."
