Item Description...
Given our history, this father and this son might well have gone completely separate ways. And only in becoming a father did I even begin to understand what it meant, what it was, what would be required of me, and who I was/am within that identity, father.
Pastor, author and father Walter Wangerin Jr., along with his adopted son, Matthew, tell the story of their own lifelong relationship and how they survived times when brokenness and bitterness seemed inevitable. It is the story of Matthew's desperate search for independence and his father's own search for authentic fatherhood.
This is a book of deep emotion and serious meditation about broken lives and redemption. Father & Son weaves together each writer's personal story and shows:
- how earthly fathers and sons are shaped by a Creator's relationship with his creation
- how within the human experience of parenting we discover insights into the spiritual nature of home, family and eternity itself
Together, father and son have written a book that must be experienced as well as read. It's a book parents will want to bring their lives to, not just their attention. Father & Son is the story of all of us, for we are all wayward children in need of a loving, patient father.

 | good subject matter Dec 28, 2008 |
This book deals with the problems of teen rebellion and questions of adopted children. The book is unique in that you hear the father's side of the story, and then toward the end of the book, you hear the narrative from the troubled son. The style of the author was a bit bothersome to the story line. He loves parentheses, and sticks ramdom phrases in the middle of sentences, so that you must re-read to catch the meaning. it seemed to skip back and forth a bit between time periods. But overall i thought it was a good product for anyone who thinks, "where did i go wrong with this child?" Even in the best of homes, kids can be unhappy and they can rebel. Also, it shows that in the end, the child did emerge from his rebellion, and you hear what was going on in his head at that time.
Book would profit from being edited and streamlined a bit, but i would still recommend it. | | |  | The Poignant Truth Jul 1, 2008 |
