A GLOBE AND MAIL BESTSELLER As a child, Murray Howe wanted to be like his father. He was an adult before he realized that didn't necessarily mean playing hockey. Gordie Howe may have been the greatest player in the history of hockey, but greatness was never defined by goals or assists in the Howe household. Greatness meant being the best person you could be, not the best player on the ice. Unlike his two brother, Murray Howe failed in his attempt to follow in his father's footsteps to become a professional athlete. Yet his failure brought him to the realization that his dream wasn't really to be a pro hockey player. His dream was to be his father. To be amazing at something, but humble and gracious. To be courageous, and stand up for the little guy. To be a hero. You don't need to be a hockey player to do that. What he learned was that it was a waste of time wishing you were like someone else. When Gordie Howe passed away in 2016, it was Murray who was asked to deliver the eulogy. Nine Lessons I Learned from My Father takes the reader through the hours Murray spent writing the words that would give shape to his father's leagcy--the hours immediately after his hero's death, as he gathers his thoughts and memories, and makes sense of what his remarkable father meant to him. The result is nine pieces of wisdom, built out of hundreds of stories, that show us the man behind the legend and give us a glimpse of what we can learn from this incredible life.

The sayings were designed to provide us with the personal and social skills that he understood were required for kids like us to function comfortably-individually and publicly. He worked, grounding each of us in our own self-esteem. He lived to see the effect of his efforts, and he was pleased.

Some moments in life leave a permanent imprint on our minds. The mind’s eye takes photos of those moments, and the senses capture the taste, sound, smell and feel of something in those moments, creating a 6D memory of them. And when those moments are in the company of one of the most special persons in your life, then those imprints go even deeper and come together, like pins on Google Maps creating a wonderful filigree. This book is that filigree, a compilation of all the most touching, loving, funny and thought-provoking episodes that I enjoyed with my father and the profound yet practical lessons they left behind. Ones that have helped me find peace when I was disturbed, clarity when I was confused, confidence when I was defeated and motivation when I was deflated. I dedicate this book to my son. I hope that, he also finds some solid rocks of wisdom and grows into an honest, straightforward, curious, courageous and kind man, just the way Dad was. I hope this book also reminds readers of the lessons they have learnt from their parents. For those who haven’t been fortunate enough to have their father as long as I did or those who have not enjoyed a happy relationship with their fathers, through this book, I want to share my dad with them.

Robert K. Auten Jr. reveals how the Lord helped him become the person he is today in this book. The author’s guidance began through his parents, who taught him numerous important lessons. Then, through His shepherding, the Lord weaned the author from his parents to Himself. Esteemed Jewish Sages declare that there is a triune partnership in every human being’s life. That partnership is God and the person’s father and mother. They further express that if someone honors their parents, God considers it as if that person had honored Him. That triune partnership in the author’s life, coupled with its intended teaching and experiences, demonstrated that God has never forsaken him. On the contrary, He has confirmed His presence via pursuit, persuasion, protection, correction, and the revelation of His word, the Bible. Written as a series of vignettes, with simple takeaways and confirming messages, the lessons in this book will help you appreciate the presence of God in your own life and pave the way for you to walk closer to Him.

"I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there's purpose and worth to each and every life." —Ronald Reagan Noted political commentator Michael Reagan, the son of Ronald Reagan and first wife Jane Wyman, has traveled across America, giving speeches and meeting the public. Time and time again, people tell him how much they love and miss his father, and what his presidency meant to them. In a world where role models are few and far between, Ronald Reagan’s legacy stands strong. In Lessons My Father Taught Me, Michael Reagan looks back over his years with his father and reflects on what he has learned from the greatest man he has ever known—and one of the greatest men the world has known. When Michael was growing up, his father would drive him out to his ranch. There Ronald Reagan taught Michael how to ride a horse, how to shoot a gun, and much more. As they drove together or did chores together, Michael’s father told him stories and taught him about life, love, family, faith, success, and leadership. Michael didn’t fully appreciate those lessons at the time, but years later he remembered—and he understood. Now, Michael Reagan shares his father’s wisdom and experience in this inspiring book.
