From Booklist
Surprised by the overwhelming and heartfelt reception to Big Russ and Me(2004), Russert follows that memoir of his relationship with his father with a collection of letters he received recounting relationships between fathers and their sons and daughters. Russert, host of NBC's Meet the Press, received 60,000 letters and e-mails from readers with their own touching memories of filial love. Interspersed throughout, Russert recollects moments as a son and as a father, as well as conversations with famous figures, including Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and news reporter Maria Shriver, about their fathers. But the contributors are decidedly ordinary Americans, many with recollections that highlight generational differences of a time when fathers were less than demonstrative. Many recall taciturn fathers who couldn't bring themselves to tell their children they loved them but showed it in myriad ways. Many write of lessons learned about honor from fathers. A man recalls going to a New York Giants game with his father, who passed up an opportunity to sell extra tickets to scalpers and instead sold them--at cost--to another father with his son. Women recall how ties to their father set the tone for later relationships with men. One contributor recalls her father's tolerance as she and her sisters practiced applying makeup on him, going so far as to paint his toenails. Once again, Russert celebrates the relationship between fathers and their children in this heartwarming book. Vanessa BushCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

Take the choicest moment in your life with your dad, a scene or words spoken that truly personify all that is your own father, multiply that by a thousand, and you have "Wisdom of Our Father's".The book is broken up into chapters based on various life lessons and each chapter is simply made up of letters written by people sharing their most choice moment with their fathers. Each letter is no longer than a page and the book is so easily read it takes care to go slowly and savor each and every letter so as not to miss out on each particular moment. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you will find yourself saying "Damn Right!" out loud, and you'll inevitably find yourself being humbled by the fathers described in this book, somehow hoping that you will somehow have the opportunity at some time to have anywhere near the wisdom exhibited by these dads in your lifetime.There are not too many books written that can unequivocably be recommended to anyone who can read but this is one of them. And if I could say that the PERFECT recipient of a gift of this book would be anyone who is about to begin raising children or who is in the act of raising small children, this is it. That way a budding dad will have the ability to soak up a lifetime of lessons and gain the collective "Wisdom of Our Fathers" for his own use. However, ANYONE and EVERYONE should read this book just so you can recognize for yourself what true wisdom looks and sounds like.Tim Russert - YOU NEED TO COME OUT WITH "More Wisdom!"
I bought this book for myself after Tim died. I was glued to the TV for that week, mourning with the thousands that mourned. I felt that if I purchased the book, I would have a connection with Tim. I didn't bargain for the sadness it made me feel over the loss of my own father some 33 years ago when I was only 22 (like Luke). After reading the book, I then purchased 5 more --- one for each of my children and one for each of my siblings. I am working on a 'letter to my children' about their grandfather, whom they never knew. I had erroneously thought that since I was adopted, my children wouldn't have any real interest in who my father was b/c there was no blood relation. Having read Wisdom of Our Fathers I now know that blood relation is really such a small part of the overall person I became because of my father. This will be a special Christmas when I give my children the book and the 4 page, single spaced 'letter' that I wrote to my father. Thank you Tim ---
First of all, reviewers should not grade this book with stars, they should review it, based on how many boxes of tissues, they used, while reading it. Using my recommended rating system, I rate this book "FIVE BOXES OF TISSUES"! My Dad proved to me, that you can be a Father, and a best friend, and because of him, I always wanted to be a Father. By the time my Dad was 60 years old, he had complete Kidney failure, and was on dialysis 4 hours a day, 3 days a week, and he never missed a day of work. My Dad then had heart problems, and they had to remove his aortic valve, and since he had no kidneys, they couldn't use a pig's valve, because of fear of infection. I signed a release form for him, authorizing him, to be one of the first people, to use the "Saint Jude's" valve. He went "code blue" during the surgery, and was in intensive care. One of the nurse's told me, that my Dad said he couldn't give up, because he couldn't let his son's down. He made it through that, and in a few months went back to work. Then he started having trouble with his legs. And now, he was a 64 year old man, with no kidney's, and an artificial valve, and then, he had to have separate surgeries, that included a bypass in the leg that didn't work, amputated his toes, that didn't work, then amputated his leg up to his knee. He learned how to walk with a prosthetic leg, and he eventually made it back to work. And then, the other leg started to go, and he was back in intensive care. At the same time, my son Justin was being born in another hospital. No one from my side of the family, was there, because they were at another hospital with my Dad. That night, was the absolute, definition, of bittersweet for me. I couldn't wait to show my Dad, the greatest Dad in the world, his new grandson, but due to my Dad's condition, and worries of infection I couldn't bring my son in to see him. As my Dad continued, his irretrievable descent to death, I had to try something, to make sure my son, made it into my Dad's hands. Though it was a nice sunny southern California day, I came to the hospital in a long raincoat, and hid my 4-month-old son Justin, under my coat, and walked quickly into the hospital, and into my Father's room. I took my infant son, out from under my coat, and put him in my Dad's arms. My Father was so weak; he could only hold Justin, for a matter of seconds. As he handed my son back to me, that was the only time, in my entire life, that I saw my Dad cry! With tears, streaming down his face, he said: "What kind of Grandfather am I, that I can't even hold my own Grandson?" I said: "Dad, you're the greatest Father and Grandfather in the world, and hugged and kissed him!" A few days later, at the age of 64, the greatest Father and Grandfather, finally gave up his fight.Son - Rick Goldstein - President Software SalesFather - William Goldstein - Dress Contractor - (1916-1980)Grandson - Justin Goldstein (1980)If you're wondering why an open letter like this, would be presented in this review, it's because, that's what Tim Russert's book is. It's a collection of letters, sent to him, by sons and daughters, describing special moments with their Father's. The letters are not, from famous people, but from people like you and me. I didn't know people were sending letters to Tim, or I would have. If I have touched any of you, who have read this review, I recommend you do what I did. You'll feel better, about yourself, and feel proud, that you shared your wonderful Father with the world. Your letter may not be in Tim Russert's book, but I would love to read them, and I'm sure many other people would too. Feel free to contact me, however you can, through Amazon's features. And if my letter touched you, then so will Mr. Russert's book.
Told through the eyes of many sons and daughters and compiled by the late Tim Russert, a good man and dad by all accounts, this book will resonate with everyone when you think of your dad. The book is for everyone even those who have had difficult or lacking relationships with their fathers. It will provide joy, laughter, sadness and tears but also lessons to emulate and some to avoid to become the best dad you can be.Maurice Rubino
This book means a lot to me. I bought it before Mr. Russert died. We are also from Boston and attended BC. It is so well written and heartwarming. An easy read that makes you wink at the book as you pass it by on the bookshelf. Love to buy it as a gift for my significant male figures in my life.
Makes me miss Russert even more. Excellent stories! Even if you didn't/don't have/had a wonderful father, it's worth reading. Made me examine some of my alcoholic step-father's habits, when he wasn't intoxicated. I enjoyed that Russert included stories about estranged or unpleasant relationships with fathers. I wish he had written a book about mothers.
I loved all the different people's comments about their fathers, and what they passed down, and their love for us. Of course this isn't 100% of all dad's but thank goodness the overwhelming majority of them really do love us, and try to instill good values, and examples for us. I loved my dad, wish I could of told him some of the things I most admired about him. I know he knew I loved him, but after reading this book, I sure wish I could of told him some of the things.I would highly recommend the book.
