Husbands and fathers are facing enormous temptations every day in their lives by being bombarded with all the images of the world and other financial, lustful and emotional enticements, but instead of succumbing to them, they must strive to overcome them as part of the character of manhood, according to Gabriel Pelino, author of "American DaddyaA Father s Heart Revealed" and founder of Julian Publishing Group.
"Yes, there are temptations, trials and tribulations, but these are just
opportunities to be the kind of men God created us to be," says Pelino.
"This is what being a man is all about. Our manhood must come into play by
making Godly choices."
Pelino, whose mom and dad divorced when he was just six years old, lived
with his alcoholic father who lost everything by gambling and drinking.
"There were many a time during my childhood that I yearned for my father s
love, only to face disappointment and the emptiness of a young, lonely life.
I didn t know it then, but there are many sons who experience such painful
childhoods," Pelino says, "I know now from experience that whatever the
shortcomings and feelings of inadequacy of being a man, a husband, and a
father, determination and faith can overcome them."
Pelino recently released "American DaddyaA Father s Heart Revealed," a
deeply moving and dramatic photo essay depicting the power of father-child
relationships, and as a result of the successful launching of the book, has
become a national spokesman for fatherhood and being what he calls "a real
man" in a world that is full of difficult trials. According to Pelino, the
temptations and trials are opportunities to model to wives and children by
responding in Christ-centered way. Pelino says the grounding and centering
of Christ in a man s heart will bring victory to every situation.
"Part of raising children and being a good husband and father is making
choices," Pelino says. "I am going to make the right choices in order to
model them to my family. This is what we live for as men: to make the right
choices." Pelino believes fatherhood is hard work and that life is not easy
given the condition of the world. But he has found that the Christ in him
is greater than the world and instead of shrinking from responsibility, men
need to take responsibility.
"Sure we are going to stumble and fall on our faces from time to time,"
Pelino says. "But stand up. Be a man. Shake it off and go again and know
that you can march through another day because Christ is with you."
"American DaddyaA Father s Heart Revealed" captures the essence of
relationships between fathers and their children through dramatic and
sensitive photography. Such displays weave together compelling, heartfelt
stories of what it truly means to be a father. "American DaddyaA Father s
Heart Revealed" uncovers the sensitivity and strength of devoted dads, such
celebrating the love of fathers, magic of childhood, and the bond between
the two. This coffee-table book includes 35 artistic and poignant black and
white photos from award-winning photographer Cynthia Leal. She captures the
tender, precious moments that fathers share with their children. Alongside
each captivating image is a candid and heartfelt story from the man in the
photo, revealing what being a father uniquely means to him. Books can be
