8Not often do millennials ask baby boomers to write a book to help them think about life, but that's what happened in the Pfizenmaier family. "For My Daughters" is a father's deep reflections on family, friendship and faith and the meaning of our lives. Through stories, experiences, and cultural references with scriptural seasoning Tom Pfizenmaier gently places his finger on three of the central pulses in our lives. With a wisdom culled from over forty years of ministry and teaching, he speaks with a father's love, a pastor's heart, and a professor's mind, to help his daughters, and us, navigate the challenges of life. With chapters ranging from "Raising Kids", "Choosing, Bruising and Losing Friends", and the nature of "Work", to reflections on "Marriage" and "Aging and Loss", Tom reflects in vulnerable ways about what he has learned from his own failures and successes over the years. He takes on the challenge of how to think of the Christian faith in the twenty-first century and why he became, and remains, a Christian in terms of reasons of the heart, of the mind and of the soul. This book will be a resource for millennials who are deep into the important questions of life, and for others who are trying to resource them on their journeys.
