Publisher's Synopsis
Why do people build furniture or houses, plant trees, solve problems, dig up bones from ancient ruins, or invent? Each of us is distinct with individualized aptitudes for myriad explorations. As God created, is it possible we emulate it in His honor? I do not believe we are here to concentrate on one particular creative expression. Live long enough, and we vacillate from this to another. My resume is diverse and varied. As much as creativity dominates my life, so too does my family. In my first book, Body Mime and Soul: When Actions Speak Louder Than Words, I cover my artistic bent and training. My intention this time is to further talk about my experience as a full-time father and husband. It is not a how-to book. I present ideas and philosophies I have come to embrace.
How many lives are touched because I have shared some of who I am? What I have learned is to inspire more parents to be contributing guides for their children. It follows that your importance in your child's life will resound for a hundred years. And I will have contributed to the world by being important to my children in a definite way a hundred years hence. Whatever lasting consequence I had as an entertainer in making an audience think or laugh pales to raising my children.

"...it is rare for an American author to discover such a natural, astute philosophical tone as Mr. Alcorn finds himself underpinning. As a reader, you find yourself connecting to the psychological and philosophical acumen of every passage Ken Alcorn introduces. This is reason, alone, for foreseeable readers to trust the arrival of this author."
