Welcome to the new website of Husband Father Brother Son. Since I am going into a second edition, I thought it was time to freshen up the site and put some new ordering information here as well. When I first released my book in 2003, I was gratified by the reception and honored by the compliments. Each of the essays seemed to strike a chord with someone , but several of them seemed to have a life of their own. "The Sentry" was a favorite for wives and daughters to give to their husbands or dad, "Holding More Than A Hand" was definitely a father son favorite and finally, "The Little Family That Melted Away" generated response from around the world. I gave permission to several ministers to reprint the essay as long as they had my name and email address on the bottom. Apparently someone from the Chicken Soup series came across it and thait is how it was chosen to be in the "Chicken Soup for the Divorced Soul" book.
What I hope to accomplish with this book is to counter the image of men as shirkers of their responsibilites. Most men I know take all of their "roles" seriously and I have been particularly gratified by the response of women to these essays. Most men don't talk, but I do and I say what is on my mind and many women have found that it illuminated the thinking of the men they knew, but who didn't talk. I have also heard from men who have said to me that a similar incident or thought had come to them and they were thankful to find out that they were not alone in their feelings.
Enjoy the essays I have here and please feel free to contact me. God Bless You.
