A Father, a Son, and a Three-Mile Run

Description

In his poignant memoir, Keith J. Leenhouts captures one of the most profound relationships a person can experience — that between a father and his son. The story centers on a three-mile run, a simple act that becomes a profound metaphor for the journey of parenthood, the passage of time, and the enduring bonds of family. Leenhouts writes with a vulnerability that makes the personal universal, touching on the quiet moments of connection and the painful realization of how quickly children grow.\n\nFaith is the quiet current running beneath the narrative. As a Zondervan title, the book reflects Leenhouts' Christian worldview without being preachy; the spiritual dimension emerges naturally from his devotion to his family and his reflection on what it means to pass on values and faith. The three-mile run becomes not just a literal distance but a spiritual pilgrimage, asking what we leave behind and what we carry forward.
