Our society is in shambles. We’re faced with the hard truth that things need to change, but the looming question of “how” can seem overwhelming. We know the answer always begins with a commitment to Christ and following His will. But how do we create a culture that is willing to do this in a true and radical way? The answer: It begins with our fathers.
Editor Tyler Rowley brings us the compelling stories of twenty-three Catholics whose lives have been shaped by the unwavering faith of their fathers with the book Because of Our fathers: Twenty-three Catholics Tell How Their Fathers Led Them to Christ, which gifts readers with inspiring stories from Catholics from all walks of life. Included are essays from clergy such as Father Paul Scalia, and Bishop J. Strickland; media personalities, like Jesse Romero, and Patrick Madrid; and popular figures, such as Matt Birk, Abby Johnson and more,
Rowley, president of Servants of Christ for Life, begins and ends the book with a poignant introduction and conclusion that showcase the need for a revival of Catholic fatherhood in our nation.
The above comes from an Aug. 18 Christian NewsWire release sent by Ignatius Press.
The family is the foundation of society and fathers are absolutely essential as the natural leaders of their households. Decades of feminist ideology has not erased the importance of fatherhood, and try as they may, women cannot fulfill the paternal role. Reflect on why this so, and remember, it was God Who set it up that way.
Sounds like a great book that I would highly recommend. I admire Patrick Madrid’s patience with callers, he has far more of it than I do, and if the book is anything like his advice on Relevant Radio, one cannot go wrong buying it.
This book sounds very inspiring! Yes, our Nation desperately needs respect for Fatherhood, founded on the original Divine Plan! Children need excellent Role Models, Male and Female, to help them naturally grow to their God-designed fulfillment, according to their gender. And there should also be special help, from good Role Models, for those who need it, to make good adjustments, and fulfill their God-ordained destiny, of their gender.
