Rob Suggs

I became an expert on Legos--not that I had any choice in the matter. From the time our son Robert was able to creep about on the floor, he spent countless hours hunkered down, constructing edifices to make Frank Lloyd Wright spin in his grave. As I would come home exhausted from work, Robert would greet me with, "Daddy! We have to build!"And so we built . . .Each night I was as disappointed about Robert's bedtime as he was. But my son granted solemn permission for me to continue on without him. "Daddy, you can play Legos while I'm asleep," he'd say. I'd blush and stammer for him to get on to bed. I'd share a Bible story, listen to prayers and kiss my two children goodnight. Then, when I could hear Robert breathing regularly, I'd steal over to the Lego corner. The Suggs family is an ordinary family--probably a lot like your family. Whether they're playing with Legos, learning to drive or just mowing the lawn, the Suggses live a down-to-earth life. What's extraordinary is Rob Suggs's spiritual perception and story-telling ability. The result is a winsome collection of tales filled with laughter, love and profound meaning that sheds new light on God's precious gift of family. So gather around the kitchen table with the Suggs family to listen to a few of their stories. And the next time your toddler throws her peas or your spouse loses the keys, you might discover some rich stories of your own.
