Faith, Fatherhood & Food: A Decade of Personal Essays

by Ken Craig

Father of eight and husband to one, humorist Ken Craig’s debut work "Faith, Fatherhood & Food" is a delightfully entertaining look at life as the head of a large family. The book is inspiring and quirky, full of humorous musings on fatherhood, family life, faith, and restaurants with astronomical-sized dishes. This collection of personal essays is told from the perspective of an imperfect man of conviction who loves his wife and family. Ken Craig’s easy, conversational style draws the reader in like a good friend sharing stories over a double chili-cheese burger. Infused with humor, poignancy, self-deprecation, and self-reflection, the book features stories about courtship, marriage, childbirth, road trips, mistaken identity, Christianity, church dances, and discontinued ice cream flavors. "Faith, Fatherhood & Food" is for anyone who is trying to become the best version of themselves but sometimes get distracted by pizza; who feels their heart burst whenever their kid does something spectacular and feels their brain downshift when they realize how much they’ve spent on diapers; who has faced immense personal trials with incomparable hope; or who wonders if anybody understands but suspects that everyone can relate.

Words can just adequately express how much I loved this book! It was equal parts sentimental, funny, nostalgic, and endearing. A special cocktail of awesome.

Lovely memoirs by a guy I almost know (I am a friend of his wife’s family). Lots of gentle humor and compassion. Very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
