Segment 4 & 5 – Because of Our Fathers: Twenty-Three Catholics Tell How Their Fathers Led Them to Christ
“In Because of Our Fathers, twenty-three Catholics—including Patrick Madrid, Abby Johnson, Bishop Joseph Strickland, Father Paul Scalia, Jesse Romero, Anthony Esolen, Father Rocky, Christopher Check, and Father Gerald Murray—give portraits of their own fathers as conduits and models of Christian love. Ranging from the heroic to the ordinary, these powerful testimonies will inspire men to consider more deeply the amazing privilege that God has given them to become, despite their imperfection, a living image of our Father in Heaven.” Editor Tyler Rowley talks about his book in light of Father’s Day this weekend.
