Description
What could lead a little fellow to set a putt-putt course on fire and, years later, host a keg party at his parents’ house during high school (when his father was a prominent pastor in town), only to go on to defy all odds and become perhaps a combination of the smallest and slowest starting wide receiver in major college football history? And how did that youngster eventually become an NFL agent by accident, meet his future wife on a steamy asphalt parking lot with a “Hey, what’s your name?” yelled across that same parking lot by way of introduction, and then have his heart radically transformed by the birth of his first child, Hannah, before raising three more children? And how could this same man possibly handle the news that his beloved daughter was dying? And more so, once she died, would it ever be possible for him to find healing?
Join Phil Williams on his journey as he weaves humorous, heartwarming, and intriguing stories from birth until fatherhood, and then walk with him on the most painful path a parent could ever navigate, all of which leads him to what he would call the only journey worth taking: the journey to discover what this life is really all about and who we really are.
If you like stories that leave you smiling and crying and laughing and anticipating the next one, dig in. But no matter how much you might anticipate the next story, nothing will prepare you for the climax of this deeply emotional tale of a man and his daughter and the deeper search for meaning and truth.
A Note From the Publisher
I gave this book a rather provocative title. Some of y’all probably love
it. And some are probably shaking your heads, maybe even saying a
prayer for me. Either way, I would ask you to give it a little space. You
might be surprised at where it takes us.
Advance Praise
"Phil WIlliams's life is a test and triumph of will. I love this big, beautiful, brave book." - Don Van Natta Jr., ESPN senior writer and New York Times bestselling author
“When a naturally gripping storyteller has a story that’s worth telling, you get a book like this. The pages before you will make you laugh, cry, and smile throughout, and, by the end, you’ll feel like you have a new friend—one that you’re grateful to have met and learned so much from.” – GRACE ADAMARIE WATSON
"F*ck You, God is a compelling memoir, full of insight, encouragement, and gems of wisdom. Williams strikes the perfect balance between depth and levity, navigating the complex human experience with equal parts humor and vulnerability." - Amanda Johnson, author of Becoming Enough and Becoming Free
"The best book I have ever read on the process of grief. It is a story of life, death, healing, and the search for truth. This book is an invitation to feel, to be vulnerable, to know what's important, to face pain that seems too intense, and most importantly: to love deeply." - Lisa Natoli, spiritual teacher of The Healing Cure
"As I listened to Phil's book, it felt as if I was right there with him, somehow along for the journey, and seeing and feeling it all by his side. The stories are all so clear and detailed and true, revealing someone who we can relate to and get to know-a man, a father, a husband, a friend (he was my agent for 15 years). This book is authentic-that might be the best way I could describe it-and I found myself laughing and crying throughout. Though it has its gut-wrenching moments, for sure, it has so much more." - Brad Johnson, NFL Super Bowl Winning Quarterback and Two-Time Pro Bowler
