I loved this book. It was just what I needed to read. I don't have many Christian books in my hometown library that I would find as wise to read...but this was a rich find.

Written by the son of Richard Foster, "Celebration of Discipline." A must-read for all dads, especially pastor-dads. Challenging and hopeful and has added to my desire to want try some serious backpacking.

I was just lukewarm about this one. I think that it's great that this father and son made a connection but it still didn't feel warm enough.
