Book Description

April 1, 1998
What do you wish you had asked your dad?

What did you feel the first time you cradled me in your arms?

What was your proudest day as a dad?

A little book that asks big questions: some serious, some playful, some risky. "I had ample opportunity to ask Dad these questions when he was alive. But it seemed that a million reasons not to do so could always be found. It was a waste of everything Dad had ever seen, done, and thought about not to hear his answers, and I regret not finding out more about him when I had the chance." This book was borne of that regret and has one underlying objective: to develop a blueprint for discovery so that children of any age can start to build a clearer, deeper picture of the man behind the word Dad.

"So this is for my dad. And for all dads, past, present, and future. And for their sons and daughters. And for the simple pleasure of talking to each other."--Vincent Staniforth

About the Author

Vin Staniforth was born in England. While honeymooning in the United States, Vin was called home after his father became very ill. His father died two days after Vin’s return, and Vin came to realize how much he still wanted to learn about—and from—his father. That realization was the inspiration for Questions for My Father. Vin lives with his wife and two sons in Atlanta, Georgia. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: Questions For My Father: Finding The Man Behind Your Dad (Hardcover)
Great book for learning about yourself and passing along your feelings, foibles and future wishes to your children. Works well for those that had a great relationship with their own father and want to continue the tradition; works even better for those who weren't close to their own father and want to make the most out of that special relationship with their own children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, December 7, 1999
This review is from: Questions For My Father: Finding The Man Behind Your Dad (Hardcover)
This book is a must read! For everyone who had a great relationship with their dad, but wish they knew him better. The author does a great job of posing questions, which he wished he could have asked his father before he died. He has obviously searched his soul to understand the man who was his father. The questions are playful, serious, and ultimately make the reader examine their relationship with their fathers and their own true thoughts. All in all a very enjoyable read and thought prevoking process. Everyone will enjoy reading this collection of questions.

This review is from: Questions For My Father: Finding The Man Behind Your Dad (Hardcover)
I found this book in a store in Seattle. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, I just picked it up and flicked through the pages and before I knew it I couldn't put it back down as my eyes began to cloud up with tears. I had a special relationship with my father, but never really, really knew him. The questions in this book seem to allow me to touch his memory with a much deeper insight than ever before. A wonderful, pleasant, and lovely book to read. It brought back special memories.
