My Father My Friend - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

In a world that increasingly searches for moral wisdom, David Chadwick reflects on over five decades of love and learning from his dad. The wisdom gleaned from his dad is here passed down to future fathers and all people who long for principles by which to live and raise their children. Whether it's relationships, marriage, parenting, or simple counsel about everyday life, David captures his father's words as a legacy for the twenty-first century.

"My Father, My Friend: Lessons on Life and Love" offers a series of pithy quotes divided into five sections: marriage, parenting, relationships, personal counsel, and faith. David tells a story of growing up with his dad that illustrates the nature and character of any good father.

As we eagerly seek the generational truth that sustained our country through the Depression and World War II, David points us to his own hero as a pattern of practical courage. In a time when dads who didn't have dads are being called to raise their kids, this book offers help from the person David Chadwick considers the greatest man in the greatest generation, his Father.

Críticas

"Just what America needs--a good dose of common sense!"
--Sue Myrick, U.S. House of Representatives

"In our contemporary era of absent fathers, both physically and emotionally, and confused fathers, both spiritually and culturally, David's book about his dad breaks like the dawn upon a benighted world. Never before have the leadership and example of Christian fathers been more needed. . . . An inspiration to his son and now to us."
--Sid Bradley, Dean of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Charlotte

"The principles of positive fathering outlined here will help us all achieve the most important trophy of all: a picture of a healthy, together, loving family guided by the hands of a loving father."
--Mitch Kupchak, General Manager of the Los Angeles Lakers

"I hope the truths David gleaned about life from his father can now help many others learn the powerful, positive impact fathers can and should have on their own children and all members of society."
--Coach Dean Smith, former Head Basketball Coach of the University of North Carolina
