This is the question author Matt Cooper asked himself when he began this project. This profoundly personal, philosophical, and practical book is written as a series of letters from a father (a firefighter) to his young son and weaves together personal stories, Stoic philosophy, Christian references, and modern psychology.
Deeply vulnerable and irreverently direct, In Case I Don't Come Home is more than a father's paternal gift to his son. It's a field manual for any man who wants to become the kind of husband, father, and leader others can rely on-calm in crisis, humble in success, steadfast in suffering, grounded in virtue, and fully alive to the brief, beautiful gift of the present moment.
