Few things shape a life more profoundly than the lessons of a father.
William "Bill" Burgess was a larger-than-life personality. This was displayed on football fields across the Southeast, first as a player at Auburn University and later as a championship-winning coach at the high school and collegiate levels. But he was also a father.
His son, New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio host Rick Burgess, had a front-row seat to this legendary man who had a way with words like few others. Through rich storytelling, Rick Burgess captures his father's many colorful sayings and stories, taking them a step further by cleverly and clearly communicating the spiritual truths behind each one.
"Men Don't Run In the Rain" is a timeless reflection on the kind of man they simply don't make anymore.

I cannot think of a book more valuable for a Christian man to read than an adult son looking back on his father's life. I want every man in my church to read this book.”
