10 Best Father's Day Books to Give Dad This Year (2023)
"Mother's love is like water, and father's love is like a mountain." As the saying goes, mother's love is gentle and tolerant, like a gurgling stream, taking care of us in every possible way; and father is like that mountain, majestic and majestic Deep, always silently sheltering us from wind and rain, and protecting our growth.
When I was young, my father was our hero, the most powerful person in the world. If the light bulb or something in the house is broken, my father can fix it after a few tricks; if I want to buy a new toy, my mother disagrees with my father but will buy it for herself after scolding me; the school has arranged a handicraft lesson, and the father helped me make it. Various models come out. It can be said that when we were young, the father in our eyes was the most amazing person in our hearts.
When we grew up, we unknowingly distanced ourselves from our father, always feeling that our father was very close to us but very far away. There are some things we share with our mother happily, but we never confide a word to our father; sometimes, when we encounter difficulties, the first person who asks for help is also the mother; and when we make mistakes, we don’t even say anything. I dare to let my father know but dare to secretly admit his mistakes with his mother.
Just like the famous writer said: “ Father’s love is silent. If you feel it, then it’s not father’s love !” The reason why we feel that we have a distance from our father is that our father is always bad at To express this love for us, although they love us deeply in their hearts, they will not show it on their faces. They always put on a silent and serious face, which makes us timid.
But in fact, the person our father loves the most is us. Although they don't know how to say it, they can express this love to the fullest through action. We often complain that our father does not pay enough attention to us, but we can always feel this heavy and restrained fatherly love inadvertently, and we feel sorry for the silent devotion of our father to us.
The old saying goes: "See the true chapter in the subtle." Father's love is often secret and great, and the details of life are often full of our Father's love for us.
Russell said The most fundamental shortcoming of fathers is that they want their children to win glory for themselves.

1. The Childhood of Jesus
Author: (South Africa) JM Couche
"The Childhood of Jesus" is the first work of Couche's latest novel series "Jesus Trilogy". The story of this book begins with a mysterious and vague immigrant, the boy David and the old Simon meet by chance on their way to a new world.

However, as mentioned above, Simon is not David's true father, and David has always repeated this in the book. Therefore, this story can not help but let us reflect: What is the "true father"?
In addition to the birth process, what does the concept of "father" mean to children? Does the "father" limit children's education, and can children choose their own father? Through this novel full of philosophical thinking, Coetzee makes us value and rethink what it means to be a "father".
2. Patrimony
Author: [America] Philip Roth
Philip Roth, who is good at weaving the epic of human nature with novels, accidentally published a documentary work-"Patrimony: A True Story" in 1991. The focus of his eyes is no longer the vast social and grand propositions, but the father of Rose who has just passed away, an ordinary, humble old Jewish man.
In the days before his death, his life was like a river soaked with trivial past events, flowing half-clearly before him and his son, a writer. The relationship between father and son has never been as close and unfamiliar as it is now, both flesh-and-blood and drifting away.
When the life of a loved one entered the countdown, all the thoughts and torture, all the fear and sorrow, forced people to breathe-even if this person is Philip Roth, who is known for his coldness. This book is a rare non-fiction work by Roth.
The writer Ross and his son Ross are constantly swapping the words in "Inheritance". Passion and reason sometimes fight fiercely and sometimes make peace, trying to restore the truth of life.
The truth of life is enough to dwarf any text, and it is enough to conquer the most demanding book critics in the United States. In 1992, "Inheritance" won the "National Book Critics Award" and became a contemporary classic of non-fictional works.

Until the parents separated, and the years gradually took away their father's words, memory, and perception of reality, they decided to write a book together, a book about aging. However, what was left to her daughter, in the end, was only six conversation recordings full of noise.

5. Disturbing the Peace: A Novel
by Richard Yates
The protagonist of the novel, John Wilder, a real daydreamer, over 35 years old, is a boring but small accomplished salesman in the countryside. He has a splendid wife. As a father, he also has a 10-year-old son. Plain but also warm.
However, life is always wrong: his family no longer regards it as the glory of the family, because he renounced and betrayed the marriage, the former small family collapsed, he had nowhere to go, and eventually became addicted to alcohol.
Overwhelmed, Wilde left home, quit his job, and came to the coveted Hollywood, believing that his dream can finally become a reality here. It seems that bad luck has been reluctant to let this sinner who made a mistake, his lover abandoned him, and the producer relentlessly rejected him.
Various misfortunes have deepened his dependence on alcohol and dragged him into an increasingly bottomless hell.
6. Dreams from My Father
by Barack Obama
But what this African dad brought to the group of Hawaiian Americans was not only the dream and passion to change the world, but also the dedication implicit under this passion, but this dedication is especially a strong change for others to change the world. The preference for dominance is intolerable to the American philosophy of freedom.
The most outstanding performance was when Obama refused to watch the latest cartoon. Dad asked him to do the homework for the day after tomorrow. After the argument, grandma still called Barry to watch the remaining five minutes of the show. They cannot reach a compromise. The article didn't mention the reason for his parents' divorce. This is probably one.
His father is just a person who can look far away, listen to stories, and tell dreams, but if the little Obama student becomes the object of his father's dreams, maybe he will not become the Obama living in the White House.
7. Things My Son Needs to Know about the World
by Fredrik Backman
But when I saw the end in one breath yesterday afternoon, I rethought what my friend said.
Indeed, many of the author’s points of view make me very much in agreement. I wish I could take a screenshot and broadcast it immediately, such as:
I hope you understand that "justice" is worth pursuing. Never misunderstand "the pursuit of equality" as a war of smoke between the sexes. I hope you understand that women deserve the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as men. I hope you understand that what most people want is not to be treated specially or to be equal but to be fair.
as well as:
When I was young, people said "Stand up like a man" on various occasions. It wasn't until I was in my twenties that I realized that real men can also sit down, shut up, listen, and bow their heads to admit mistakes when they make mistakes. When watching a game, never yell at an athlete: "You play like a woman!" It's as if a woman means weakness. One day, you will hold your beloved woman by the hand when she is giving birth, face her greatness, and be filled with shame that has never been seen before.
as well as:
If you want to know what "real man" means, you can ask Mr. Gareth Thomas. He came out publicly to the Welsh National Rugby teammates in the locker room. I am extremely sure that at the moment in the dressing room, no one is more man than Mr. Thomas.
As a person who has been shouting for gender equality and LGBT groups, these words really hit my heart, so that the embarrassment between father and son, the quarrel between the couple around the child, and the novice parents. The subtle relationship between...all was ignored by me.
After all, I, as a person, have never understood the heart of the person who exposes the baby.
8. Sh*t My Dad Says
by Justin Halpern
Wandering in the urban outfitter, I read a lot of fun and interesting side books and toys, a very trendy store, and then I turned to this book and I couldn't put it down immediately. However, I was not in a good mood at the time. I didn't buy it right away. I bought it on Amazon after I got home and shipped it home in less than two days.
Perhaps apart from textbooks, this is the first English book I have seen from the beginning to the end. Perhaps short is one of the reasons. Maybe it is really attractive.
Some people really speak very artistically, and the swear words carry true feelings. In fact, these words do not follow the movement and demeanor. Only words and phrases can penetrate and realize the feelings in them, which shows that the penetrating power of their language is strong.
The short words reveal the wisdom of life, and have a strong driving force, really unknowingly will be infected by its charm.
This book is the #1 Bestseller of the NY Times.
9. To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
I still sigh that I didn't have so many adventures in childhood, which made me discover that my past shallowness cannot be concealed by age, but I have to admit that even after reading this book now, I have benefited a lot.
The fragments of this book seem to have a strong historical background, the kind you can find at the first reading: such as racial discrimination, Hitler, and Dewey's education law.
However, I think this background of the times does not limit this eternal theme (which is rare)-that all men are created equal. It is true that there are many inequalities in the story, inequality of skin color, inequality of family, and even inequality between beliefs.
There is not much mention of Atticus’s religious beliefs in the article, but I think he is better than most people who believe in Christ. The believer has a higher morality-he has been able to love others, so that he is broad to all things. He used his own special way to show respect for everyone, and he was also showing the deeds of a real gentleman.
He was neither submissive nor acrimonious. He was gentle but not nauseous, and his behavior was strong and not rude. I think This is the best education for his children. Remember?
In the end: "Skut, when you finally get to know them, you will find that most people are good people." I think this is what this novel wants to express the most. This is a truly pure universal value.
10. Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters
by Meg Meeker
I think if a young daughter experiences a broken family, which leads to the collapse of her spiritual world, how will her life be different from that of a daughter who has a healthy family and a perfect father who loves her?
The author said that fathers can bring their daughters courage, outlook on life, and self-confidence. Daughters always show their best side to their fathers, and they always shine in front of their fathers. The authority of the father allows his daughter to respect him and have a great sense of security and confidence.
They always compare their boyfriend or husband with their father, because the father is the daughter's first man, and the father's good words and deeds can greatly affect the daughter's attitude towards other men.
The father also teaches his daughter to be humble, and self-esteem, and to protect her from the poison of a deformed society.
The father will take his daughter outdoors, and he will take his daughter to pray and know God.
As the nurturer of the daughter, the father also assumes the role of teacher.
A good father can help his daughter find a good man and lead a happy life.
The author's writing about his father's qualities was so perfect that I couldn't help but think of many things. Because my family is not perfect, which leads to a lot of hardship and detours. Now think about it, don't you also get some experience and results from it?
I don't have any of the above help that my father can give. Now I can become a girl trained by such a good father. I am pleased, and I am deeply thinking and feeling.
Take a look at this book, thanks to the author and translator for interpreting and disseminating the human view of the father.
Benefited a lot.
