In this episode, Tyler talks with Marvin Olasky about his recent book, "Lament for a Father." Marvin played catch with his father, Eli, only once—it didn’t end well. Eli never laughed, rarely spoke with his son, and was periodically lambasted by his wife for his lack of ambition. How had a Harvard graduate failed to achieve all that he had once hoped for? Now an experienced investigative journalist, Marvin uncovers the true story of his father’s past in his most personal work to date—facing Eli’s pain and his own in order to understand and forgive.

In thirty-one daily readings spanning cosmic realities and the nitty-gritty of daily life, Stephanie Hubach, a researcher in disability ministry and the mother of a son with Down syndrome, explores the many blessings that come to you and your child through the promise of Immanuel, “God with us.”
