Father's Story

The number of involved, active fathers within a family has been on the decline for decades. Numerous men abdicate their responsibilities to their sons and daughters, leaving a wake of brokenness and insecurity behind them. Countless others try to be a dad, but how can they pass on that which they never received from their own fathers? "I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection", writes Sigmund Freud. Where does a person go who may not have or have had such a relationship in their own life? Where does knowledge, wisdom, and direction about life come from if not from your own dad? Answer: it can come from chosen mentors, both those that you know and those that you may never meet. This book is for the men and women - young, old, and in between - who never had the dad they needed in their life. In an easy to read, Question & Answer format, Kaylyn poses life questions to her dad which nearly any person would want to ask of their own father regarding questions of life. In the midst of her own major unexpected life challenges, Kaylyn benefitted from a father who was engaged in her life. Now father and daughter both want to share their accumulated insights with others lacking a strong father figure. A Father's Story presents deep questions from a daughter serving as a stand-in for so many others wrestling with life difficulties. Serving in a parental role, Mark offers his thoughts and accumulated wisdom, enabling you to find answers to so many vexing questions. Presenting sound fatherly advice with unconditional love, this book will empower readers like you to walk a greater path, even if the father advice comes from someone other than your own father.
