“Just as I was about to make a mad dash for the road, Dad came bounding out of the gas station. He tossed me an ice cream sandwich and took a swig out of a sixty-four-ounce cup of his favorite soda concoction: equal parts Diet Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, and raspberry ice tea, with just a dash of hot coffee and maybe a squirt of Tabasco sauce. ‘This is an adventure, Buddy!’ Dad pronounced with a beaming smile. It was incredible how much he was enjoying all of this.
I have always operated under the assumption that my father has a disease. I’m sure there is a scientific word for it, but I just call it crazy. And, apparently, it’s either contagious or hereditary, because the light in his eyes and the hop in his step sparked an excitement in me, as well. I caught the crazy.”
This collection of stranger-than-fiction stories will have you rolling on the floor laughing at the adventures, antics, and aspirations of evangelist Bob Hartley as retold by his often-skeptical son, Jedidiah Hartley. You’ll discover that there’s never a dull moment in the life of Bulldog Bob—whether in the classroom, on the wrestling mat, or in the carpet-cleaning van.
But more than just streaming anecdotes, this book tackles an exploration of the father-son relationship as Jedidiah records his father’s unforgettable incredible life lessons—and then applies them to himself. It’s a journey he will never forget…and neither will you.
