A Review Outside the “Intimate Inner Circle”
I’ve received another review to share. – Pat
Dear Dr. Ferry,
I wanted to drop you a note just to let you know that someone outside your “intimate inner circle” thoroughly enjoyed your book. I could relate to your story on so many levels and was amazed that both of us even have a daughter named Rachel (ours however is Rachael). The years for me have flown by also and can’t believe I will be turning 50 very soon. Read the rest of this entry »

Little Read Book
The Little Read Book Store is in the heart of Wauwatosa Village. As a Tosa resident, I often run or ride my bike along the path near the center of the village and adjacent to the book store. On Sunday, December 6, the afternoon was sunny and warm enough to be outside — especially since the Packers weren’t playing until Monday night. Instead we were indoors where friends and neighbors gathered to hear a few excerpts from the book and hear some stories. Here are a few photos from the event.

Andrew Update
Faith in the Freshman has elicited a few questions about the situation of the sophomore. Recently I had my first opportunity to watch Andrew play at Palm Beach Community College in Florida. After 11 games his team is struggling a bit at 5-6. Andrew was recently named team captain. He is seeing plenty of action and scoring 18.2 points per game. Currently, he is among the leaders nationally in three-point shooting productivity (43 in 11 games, or just under 4 per game). Here are a few photos of Andrew in action in his Panther uniform.

The Concordian Review
The following review was written by Dr. David Eggebrecht and appeared in the Fall 2009 edition of the Concordian. ~ Pat
Concordia President, the Rev. Dr. Patrick Ferry, has written a new book entitled Faith in the Freshman: A Story of Hopes and Hoops. In alternating chapters he discusses his own freshman experience , at St. John’s College — Winfield, which led him to become a Christian, and his son Andrew’s experience as a college freshman wanting to play Division I basketball and dealing with diabetes.
The book is an engrossing read (I had to wrest it from my wife’s hands in order to read it so I could write this review by deadline.) Read the rest of this entry »
