Since its release, A Father’s Guide to Loving Your Neighbor as Yourself by Stan Rawls has quietly begun to play a new role beyond its pages as a conversation starter in homes and faith communities focused on teaching empathy, inclusion, and the importance of simple kindness.
The story is based on real-life events—centered on a son named Kelly and his interactions with a group home—and has resonated deeply with parents, teachers, and faith leaders looking for meaningful ways to engage young readers and families in value-based dialogue. Readers have been using the book as a springboard to discuss real-life situations involving acceptance, helping others, and standing up for those who are often overlooked.
“I never set out to write a book that would become a discussion tool,” said author Stan Rawls, “but I’ve been humbled to hear from families and small groups who are using it that way. It’s been incredibly encouraging to learn that Kelly’s story is opening up real conversations about what it means to love others in practical, everyday ways.”
While the book was written in a simple, accessible style to appeal to younger readers, its message has struck a chord with readers of all ages.
Stan Rawls, a University of South Carolina graduate and Charlotte-based entrepreneur, brings his passion for faith and community into his storytelling. With his latest work now being integrated into meaningful discussions around empathy, his hope is simple: “If this story inspires just one person to extend kindness where it’s needed, then it’s done what it was meant to do.”
The book is now available for purchase on Amazon and through other major online retailers.
