Description
“There is a difference between telling your side of a story and telling the truth.”
For years Ryan Richard Thompson believed that if he worked hard enough, kept the bills paid, and refused to quit, he could hold his family together. He was there for night shifts and ordinary childhood routines, built businesses alongside his wife, and took his five children to see parts of the world most people only read about. Then the marriage ended, and the conflict did not.
Pillars of Strength is his honest look at the father he inherited, the rules that changed beneath him, the mistakes he owns, and what children carry when a family comes apart. It does not ask anyone to take sides.
Written from the Philippines by a disciple of Christ, it closes with four paired pillars for any parent trying to keep the door open: truth and responsibility, presence and discipline, courage and humility, liberty and forgiveness.
