Finding a Connection,
By Helen Kay Polaski, Author of Forget Me Knots ... (Milan, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Heart of a Father: True Stories of Inspiration and Encouragement (Stories from the Heart) (Paperback)
The Heart of a Father, compiled by Wayne Holmes, is a book that can be quickly read and enjoyed, then set aside for a while and re-read and enjoyed all over again. With each reading, the reader will discover new insights, new ways to connect with God. The stories are told in short bitesize morsels that can be consumed by the eager reader in less time than it would take to inhale a candy bar. And though some of the stories are sprinkled with sugar that's where the similarities between this book and a candy bar and its quickly disappearing sugar-high end. The stories are filled with God's wisdom and tend to remain with the reader throughout the day, helping the reader to discover similarities between the way they teach their own children and the way God teaches us. Mr. Holmes has done a thorough job of making sure the reader puts on a thinking cap, and in doing so has managed to bring God and His ways more fully into their lives.

If you have a father, step-father, or grandfather in your life, or are about to be a father, you'll want to buy this book. Wayne Holmes has assembled a fine collection of inspirational stories on fatherhood that will serve as a model for all men. From the famous, such as Max Lucado, to the soon-to-be-famous, like Linda Knight, each writer has captured an attribute of our Father in Heaven's character in a unique way. This books will make a great present for any man.

Worth reading!,

This review is from: The Heart of a Father: True Stories of Inspiration and Encouragement (Stories from the Heart) (Paperback)
Appreciating the varied roles of earthly fathers helps us understand our Heavenly Father. Through engaging stories and vignettes, The Heart of a Father nudges us toward that understanding. A good read -- and a valuable one.
