This book, written by a young man eager to explore his world and share his findings with others, took me back to days of my own childhood when playing in a cool, clear creek brought a smile to my face.

While the author of this book does have learning challenges, it certainly does not show in this brilliant story of days spent catching bullfrogs. He not only catches bullfrogs, he teaches any one reading the story how to join in him in his endeavor and succeed.

This is a story that is entertaining and heartwarming to readers of all ages and from all walks of life. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good book to read to children or to take time away from the daily chores to spend a few minutes smiling.

 Having grown up through the Depression, Harry was a king of pack rats. He saved EVERYTHING to which manMany people deal with aging parents who grew up during the depression or are elderly themselves so can relate to a lot of things in this book. Readers will smile, chuckle and may even laugh out loud but also will find parts very touching that may bring a tear to their eye. Get ready for a quick, easy, emotional read and learn to cherish the people in your day-to-day life.

“My Funny Dad, Harry” is uplifting and shares about my loving Christian family. There are so many stories of dysfunctional families and abusive parents that I thought people might enjoy a change of pace. This book is a heartwarming account of how my relationship with my dad grew over the years, and how it changed as he aged and I became his primary caregiver. I wrote this book shortly after he died in his memory as a tribute to him because it seemed God wanted me to share about this amazing man and wonderful, funny father with the world and let people know how God helped me through the difficult months following his death.

“My Funny Dad, Harry” is not only about my dad, but also about his daughter, life and aging. I never had any desire to write a book but I felt God wanted me to write this one. I couldn’t sleep through the night because thoughts about things he did kept coming in my head. Since I had also kept a daily journal since 1999 it occurred to me that perhaps journaling was part of God's plan to make it easy for me to write this book. I enjoyed reading “Marley & Me” by John Grogan because it was funny but also sad. I thought if people liked reading about a funny dog, they might enjoy reading about my funny dad. Even the title came to me so I started writing and this book became a reality even though at the time I had no clue as to how to get a book published. I believe these thoughts came from God, not me.

Harry did some funny things and had some quirks, but was an amazing man who I believe people can learn a lot from. He was a gentle, kind, self-educated craftsman and truly a jack-of-all trades. He was very soft hearted, fed the stray cats in his neighborhood and had as many as six inside at one time. Since his cats were such good friends of his, there are tales about them in the book as well. He wouldn’t have wanted me to leave them out so I included them.

Many people can relate. If something broke, he would save it because he planned to fix it. For example, Dad was very excited about getting a new microwave and so proud of himself for researching it out and getting exactly the right one. The next day, my husband (Gerard) and I took groceries to dad and got him to move the old microwave off the counter at least. I thought maybe he’d let Gerard put it by the front door so it would be easy to take out when “the weather broke.” But no, he told us to leave it in the dining room for now. I told Gerard “I’m not saying anymore about it, but you watch, he won’t throw it away.” I was right, he never did!

Harry exemplified the man described in Micah 6:8: “He hath shewed thee, O man what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” (KJV) My dad was a very quiet and private person but always was willing to quietly help people any way he could, especially me. That’s why it is so ironic that I am sharing him with you through this book.

When he hit “old age” he always had to be warm. He wore a jacket vest inside the house all winter long even though the thermometers registered close to 80 degrees. (Yes, plural, because he had at least one hanging in each room, many of which were still in the plastic). Although Harry had many health problems such as diabetes, trouble hearing, poor eyesight, missing teeth, and arthritis, he never complained.

As you read this book, you will get to know my funny dad through my eyes as well as how our relationship grew. If you are a caregiver to an older person, I’m sure you will identify with many of the events I share in this book and realize other people have some of the same problems as you so won't feel so alone. Hopefully, you will even learn some things and get some ideas from him just like I have.

            Author's Website - TIM KELLIS                  Relationships 

 Renowned Wall Street analyst Tim Kellis takes on what could be considered society’s biggest problem today, divorce. The journey that led him to tackle such a significant issue was both personal and professional.

After a successful career that eventually landed him on Wall Street as the first semiconductor analyst to focus on the communications market Tim met what he thought was the girl of his dreams, only to see his relationship end with bitterness and anger. The journey included working with a marital therapist, and after he realized the therapist wasn’t really helping decided to tackle the issue himself.

The journey you are about to embark includes a trip through history, where the most significant lessons civilization has learned over the last few thousand years are used to demonstrate not only the way to set up a positive relationship, but the causes of that relationship turning negative.

Additionally, Tim dives into the science of psychology to answer the most basic question anyone asks who goes through the pain of divorce, “why didn’t we work out”?

The basic premise of the book is that we have a 50% divorce rate yet there doesn’t appear to be anything happening to help solve this problem. Just because divorce has become a significant part of our culture doesn’t mean we should simply sit back while countless families suffer through the agony of splitting up.

The toll to society tomorrow because of our culture of divorce today is impossible to determine but future generations will have to deal with this change to the culture that has occurred over the last two generations.

For the first time in history Tim will elaborate on a psychological solution to our psychological problems so that couples can learn how to change the direction of their negative relationships. In essence, the psychological objective is to understand what happens mentally between two people who make one of the most important decisions of their lives, to get married.

The objective of this book is to provide real, logical help to couples so that they can learn how to stay out of the divorce trap. Good luck on your journey as you learn how to set up your relationship so that you can maintain a happy, healthy, harmonious, loving, affectionate, intimate marriage.
