I love the idea that some truths need to be felt before we know how to apply them. Fiction can make us see our own lives and relationships differently in ways advice books sometimes can’t. Which book has had the biggest impact on how you show up as a father?
Buckeye wasn’t one of my favorite books, but it wrecked me a little as a father. It made me really aware of how quickly they are growing older and very cognizant that my, even well meaning, choices can have major implications for my little guys.
I can see how a story like that would hit differently when you’re a parent.
I mainly write fictional articles. Feel free to check out Martys | The Witness Chronicle, and if you enjoy my work, I’d really appreciate a subscription. Let me know if you’d be interested in collaborating sometime!
