Editorial Reviews

"This book is a balm for dads who don't make space for care of our spiritual selves. Through everyday situations, Steed reminds us God's Holy Spirit is present in all of life and often experienced in unexpected fleeting moments. Even in pain, distress, and loss we are touched by grace and love that transforms daily life and blesses fatherhood." —Ronald J. Kolanowski, Episcopal priest and dad of three teens

"Ron Steed's is the loving voice of a father who has endured the ups and downs of parenting and can offer each of us wisdom for the journey. These devotions are short enough to fit into every dad's day." —Mpho Tutu Van Furth, author, priest and spiritual guide

"Ron speaks to dads from a lifetime of experience as a parent, Christian, ordained deacon, homeless shelter director, and Commander of a US submarine squadron. But above all, he speaks as someone who has learned what it means to have courage and humility in order to love and to be loved back." —The Rev. Leng Lim, leadership and life coach

"Delicious, and not just for dads! Equal parts invitation, imagination, inspiration, and invocation, Deacon Ron turns words into vivid images and stories that touch and linger—the brain 'feels,' and the heart has eyes and listens. He delivers on the title's promise of 5-minute meditations, but they are as addictive as potato chips. Bet you can't read just one." —The Rev. Dr. Lynda Tyson, spiritual director and province, School for Deacons dean

"Ron's devotions touched me deeply: they're practical and connected for me the real-life situations and stresses of being a father to two wonderful daughters, to life in the Spirit. Ron uses poignant Scripture passages and brings compassion and depth in his writing. We often expect so much of ourselves: taking these 1 page reflections was a great way to pause and pray. A true gem of a book!" —Arjan Overwater, co-founder of LovePowerJustice, CEO of Soup-Tech B.V., and dad
