Description
Because of Our Fathers makes the case for a father’s essential and primary role in the spiritual lives of his children in three ways: 1) Looking at Church teaching on parenting and fatherhood, 2) Presenting studies conducted on the matter, and 3) Twenty-three personal witnesses of Catholic men and women whose fathers inspired them to love Christ and His Church.

These powerful testimonies will make men consider more carefully the amazing gift that God has given them to be a living example of the love and faithfulness of our Father in Heaven.
Our families, culture and Church will continue to suffer, Rowley warns, until an authentic and orthodox Catholic fatherhood is restored among the faithful. Speaking directly to the many men who cling ever so slightly to their Catholic identity, Rowley warns these men that their laxity towards their relationship with God will almost certainly result in their children losing the Christian faith completely.
Because of Our Fathers is indeed a warning, but also a message of encouragement and a blueprint of practical action through the stories of ordinary fathers. From their children’s eyes, encounter the things these fathers said and did to inspire their sons and daughters to believe in God, encounter Jesus Christ, and stay committed to His Catholic Church.
