Some Fathers Day Ideas

I thought I would take a break today from talking about Governor Huckabee's book today to recommend some good books for Fathers for Fathers Day. That is of course if your dad likes to read books! First on my list for books for Fathers Day would be Tim Russert Big Russ and Me. This book talks about Tim Russert about growing up and all the different lessons his father taught him, he also wrote another book called Wisdom of our Fathers which is a compilation of letters written into Tim Russert talking about the wisdom that their fathers shared with them through the years. A recent book that I finished reading about a month ago was by CBS Sportscaster Jim Nantz, Always by my side. It is very similar to Tim Russerts book. I definetly recommend this for Fathers. Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy (Coach of the Colts) is a great book by a very spiritual coach. Under the Golden Dome by Coach Gerry Faust is another good one by a very devout Catholic. You can pick up most any book written by Lou Holtz and it will be an excellent read. Terry Pluto who is a sportswriter here in my town has many great sports books and also he has two books on Christian faith. If there any books that the readers of the blog might recommend for our fathers out there feel free to post them here. They can be sports related or spiritual. Maybe your dad likes to fix motorcycles and you want to recommend Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance that is ok too!
