註釋
In this collection of provocative essays, Mark Collins celebrates the precious, fleeting, & unpredictable nature of life with wife, kids, & an industrial-strength case of middle-aged angst. Through the lens of everyday experiences - parenting, husbanding, car-repairing, kitchen-remodeling, bill-paying, & health- & friends- & Pittsburgh Pirates-worrying - these essays explore what today's husbands & fathers do with their "one wild & precious life." What joys, pains, sufferings, & hopes inform their decisions & choices. And what God is saying to them in between the lines of life's spontaneous script. At the heart of these snapshots of modern male life is the author's examination of the divine paradox of men in God's image, of testosterone in tandem with the Almighty, of "tough-guy" spirituality, the kind that allows a man to creatively invoke the Lord's name while watching his children in the annual Nativity pageant. With soul-revealing honesty, Mark Collins blends the nitty-gritty, the painful, the humorous, & the spiritual into an inspired self-portrait, a microcosm of male life in the '90s. Yet his images & stories also transcend gender, & in so doing exhort all readers to celebrate life in all of its precarious, glorious potential.
