When I was a boy, my dad asked me to chop down an oak tree with a small hatchet. I swung and chopped for hours until the stubborn thing finally fell. The test was much more difficult than anticipated and the whole undertaking made little sense at the time. Then from the tailgate of his truck, Dad shared with me five principles on how to face tough times that have stuck with me over the years. In this short book I share my father's wisdom and glean from lessons I've learned along life's journey. My hope is to remind us that God's faithfulness and strength can always get us through life's struggles or what Dad called the "oak trees of life."
