What Would Melvin Do? is a collection of 18 reflections in which the author, Doug Lambdin, explores examples of his own father's approaches to life, with respect to faith, trust, charity, grace, and many other virtues and values. Within these reflections, Lambdin draws connections between his father's examples and scripture. From these connections, Lambdin better understands his relationship with God, working within our lives, as a father does.
