Foreword
Bless Me Too, My Father, is hard to put down. The week's newsmagazine can be read later or never. It is more important and more interesting to read about Katie Funk Wiebe's experiencesher inner searchings, aspirations, faith-struggles, growth, changes, and the continual "reaching" that characterizes her years.
As the author bares her soul, readers will identify with her. They will see themselves on her pages as she tells, for example, of the times she felt (as an adult) that she was "the last person to be chosen on the team." Or when she experienced loneliness that hung on "like a low-grade infection." She is frank about her fears, her pains (including those as a bruised parent), and her struggles. She dwells on them long enough for reflection and narration (storytelling), then goes on to application and action, blessing us with her insights.
