“As a pastor and as a dad, I want my son to know I tell the truth. He can read the book. He knows if I exaggerated or if I didn't. My son is forever gonna believe that I'm an honest person or I'm a liar by what I wrote in that book, because he can read.” IfsKnowsWantBelievePersonsBookForeverHonestSonDadTelling The TruthLiarsMy SonPastorExaggeratedHonest Person Author:Todd Burpo
“A friend of ours, the wife of a pastor at a church in Colorado, had once told me about something her daughter, Hannah, said when she was three years old. After the morning service was over one Sunday, Hannah tugged on her mom's skirt and asked. "Mommy, why do some people in church have lights over their heads and some don't?" At the time, I remember thinking two things: First, I would've knelt down and asked Hannah, "Did I have a light over my head? Please say yes!" I also wondered what Hannah had seen, and whether she had seen it because, like my son, she had a childlike faith.” PeopleThinkingYearsFirstsSaidTwoLightRememberThreeChurchMorningWifeSonMomPleaseDaughterDown AndTwo ThingsSundayMy SonThree YearsPastorSkirtsChildlikeColoradoThree Year OldsChildlike Faith Author:Todd Burpo

“Being a pastor, of course, obviously people would say it (shouldn't) have done much but, boy, it sure gave me a peace I never had before. I think we struggle in life. Even people of faith struggle when things don't work out quite the way we think they should.” PeopleThinkingWayShouldDoneCoursesBoysStruggleWork OutPastorLife Struggle Author:Todd Burpo
