About this product

Product Information

What does it really mean to be a good father? What did your father tell you, that has stayed with you throughout your life? Was there a lesson from him, a story, or a moment that helped to make you who you are? Is there a special memory that makes you smile when you least expect it? After the publication of Tim Russert's number one New York Times bestseller about his father, Big Russ & Me , he received an avalanche of letters from daughters and sons who wanted to tell him about their own fathers, most of whom were not superdads or heroes but ordinary men who were remembered and cherished for some of their best momentsof advice, tenderness, strength, honor, discipline, and occasional eccentricity. Most of these daughters and sons were eager to express the gratitude they had carried with them through the years. Others wanted to share lessons and memories and, most important, pass them down to their own children. This book is for all fathers, young or old, who can learn from the men in these pages how to get it right, and to understand that sometimes it is the little gestures that can make the big difference for your child. For some in this book, the appreciation came later than they would have liked. But as Wisdom of Our Fathers reminds us, it is never too late to embrace it. From the father who coached his daughter in sports (and life), attending every meet, game, performance, and tournament, to the daughter who, after a fifteen-year estrangement, learned to make peace with her difficult father just before he died, to the son who came, at last, to appreciate the silent way his father could show affection, Wisdom of Our Fathers shares rewarding lessons, immeasurable gifts, and lasting values. Heartfelt, humorous, engaging, irresistibly readable, and bound to bring back memories of unforgettable moments with our own fathers, Tim Russert's new book is not only a fitting companion to his own marvelous memoir, but also a celebration of the positive qualities passed down from generation to generation.

Very poignant reminder of what matters most
I just bought this after Tim Russert's death, and it is a great tribute to fathers. The book is basically testimonial-type missives that were sent to Tim Russert after he wrote his book, Big Russ and Me, about his relationship with his father. Russert got thousands of responses from people about their own fathers, mostly good, loving examples of fatherhood. He included less than perfect examples, but it is mostly positive memories, sayings, and feelings felt by sons and daughters. This is a great gift for fathers, and a great read for almost anyone. Very uplifting. Even reading the introduction by Tim Russert took my breath away. Reading what his own son, Luke, did in honor of Russert was worth the price of the book. I am not a man, but reading this reminded me of my own father and his sacrificial love for me and our family. Reading the book made me want to be a better person. This book and The Last Lecture are two of my new favorites this year. Worth your time!Read full review
