Otac u noći

by Michael D. O'Brien, Aleksandra Marija Chwalowsky (Translator)

Svaki otac znade kako u životu obitelji postoje razdoblja kada se nevolje gomilaju, a duh klone.
Otac mora umrijeti, ako želi dati život svojoj supruzi i djeci.
Jesam li spreman naučiti više o sebi preko ozbiljnih kušnji? Hoću li dopustiti Ocu neka mi pomogne sazrijeti?
"Krv nije voda!" veli poslovica, ali vjernici bi trebali povjerovati: "Niti Predragocjena Krv Kristova nije voda!"
Borba protiv straha možda će potrajati čitav život, ali ne smijemo se brinuti tjeskobno. Gdje se - osim u zastrašujućim situacijama - možemo naučiti hrabrosti?

Reviews

[Stephen Carrier · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easily the best book for Father’s I have ever read. This book is raw and Michael O’Brien invites you into the redemptive role of Fatherhood better than anyone else I have read. Every single dad should read this book.

[Matthew Lauderdale · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yet another great Michael O'Brien book. This one is a collection of articles and short essays dealing particularly with family life and fatherhood, with O'Brien writing about his own experiences as a father and having a family. He delves into the messiness and beauty of families and shows how they are the place to encounter God.

At times, the author is raw and inspiring. At other times, his holiness seems unattainable. He can tend to be pessimistic at times in the book, often in regards to the world we live in and the future. However, he offers relatable stories and very valuable insight for fatherhood and parenthood in general. Would recommend for parents, especially ones with young children.
