In The Good Father, Associate Professor Joseph R. Fornieri takes a look at the important role that St. Joseph should play in the lives of Christian men.
Joseph's Christian manliness appears through his roles and responsibilities as a righteous man, a foster father, a husband, a provider, and a guardian. In each of these ordinary roles, he showed that honor and humility may be combined in the performance of extraordinary deeds. It is ironic that we take these roles for granted yet fail so miserably at them today, as high rates of abuse, divorce, and illegitimacy testify.

Sincere thanks are due for this outstanding exposition of the ministry and character of Joseph in Matthew's Gospel. Kudos for the entire study and writing by Prof. Fornieri! This Joseph who appeared at the "fulness of time", I may add, was likely animated by the character of the Joseph in Genesis, taught and instilled in him very properly by his father. Praise God for both of these Josephs and and the godly teaching!
