Here are stories to encourage and inspire fathers. And induce a few belly chuckles. These are tales of faith and family—which also means humor. Within the sacred circle of the family are experienced some of life’s deepest and most profound moments, and also some of life’s highest pinnacles of hilarity. Whether sublime or silly (and sometimes both at once), one thing is certain: this baffling, puzzling, sometimes exasperating, sometimes illuminating, and always interesting experience of fatherhood is a joyous adventure, a sacred trust, a divine mystery, and an amazing blessing.There are 52 stories, one for each week of the year, mostly humorous, with reflections on fatherhood and family life that draw on Scripture, the saints, the Catechism, and Christian tradition. They will provide a weekly shot of encouragement and entertainment, and help inspire us men in our greatest calling: that of being a Dad. We are all trying to be the best fathers we can as we navigate this crazy, hectic life with the aid of coffee and the Holy Spirit, and here is an armchair companion for the journey.
