Download A Good Man: Rediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver AudioBook Free
In this seductive portrait of a fantastic father-son relationship, Draw K. Shriver discovers the moral rules that led his legendary dad and applies them to his own life. When Sargent "Sarge" Shriver - creator of the Peace Corps and architect of Leader Johnson's Battle on Poverty - passed away in 2011 after having a valiant battle with Alzheimer's, a large number of tributes poured in from friends and strangers worldwide. These tributes, which extolled the daily kindness and humanity of "a good man," migrated his son Draw a lot more than those who lauded Sarge for his big-stage, headline-making accomplishments. After an eternity searching for the road to his father's success in the public arena, Draw instead becomes to a search for the secret of his father's pleasure, his devotion to others, and his sense of purpose. Mark discovers notes and letters from Sarge; hears personal reviews from friends and family that zero in on the three guiding rules of Sarge's life - faith, anticipation, and love - and recounts occasions with Sarge that now take on new value and poignancy. In the process, Draw discovers much about himself, as a dad, as a man, and since a social justice advocate. A Good Man is an inspirational and deeply personal story about a child discovering the real interpretation of his father's legacy.
