This book is a work of art . . . a triumphant testimony to how God uses the common things in life to build joyful, grateful families. The Little Boy Down the Road is one of the happiest reads of the year. A ‘must’ for your family storytime. —Geoffrey Botkin
The most beautiful and life-changing stories are not found
in the pages of newspapers, but in the everyday events in
the life of the Christian family.
They are the stories of boys
who long for their fathers, of
husbands who become better
men because of the love of
faithful brides, and of little
girls who learn to dream great
dreams for God. These are
moments that really matter —
the ones that count for eternity.
The Little Boy Down the Road is a collection of
humorous and thought-provoking short stories and essays
on family and fatherhood that reveal the beauty of the
Christian household. It is a book about the nobility of the
commonplace events in life and the special epiphanies of
parenthood—the moments of supreme clarity where parents
realize, as if coming out of a slumber—the inexpressible
preciousness of the Christian family and the unbounding
love of Christ to shower sinful men with such earthly joys.
Doug gives readers a very personal look at the
challenges, losses, and victories of life with his own family
of ten. Discover the blessing of family eccentricities and
the gentle art of “home school opera.” Meet a courageous
woman whose decision to
choose life paved the way
for generations of grateful
children. Learn how wise
fathers build manly libraries
that influence children for
generations. Meet an ensemble
of animals from Penumbra
the Goat to Goose Quixote
and Buddy the Hamster, and
laugh with Doug as he shares
theories on how God uses our
children’s relationships with
pets to teach us important life lessons.
And before you leave the Phillips family, take time to
remember the “most important things” as you meet the little
boy who waits faithfully for his father at the end of the road.
