This will change your life April 16, 2007
This is an easy to read book with lots of great parenting skills introduced as well as a heart breaking story not to be missed. Not too expensive, buy one for everyone in your life today!
I finished your book this past week while on spring break with my kids and sister in law who had lost her husband to suicide. She frets everyday over raising her two sons without a daddy. I wanted to finish the book before we left each other at the end of the week so she would be able to take it home with her and read it. I had told her there were so many good things in the book about raising kids and relationships... I ended up reading the last six chapters aloud to her on our drive home. My 12 year old son, crawled up in the back seat and listened to the story again. He has read the book twice already. We cried thru most of your story relating to ours and the grief that you experience when losing a loved one. It was healing for us in relation to our own loss. I pray that time has eased your grief some although I realize it never ends.
I also googled Chase and found what a successful young man he is turning out to be at LSU. Congratulations on what wonderful children you have raised... What a proud moment in a parent's life. Now you get a chance to spoil your granddaughter and send her back to mom to do the tough part... That is what my parents tell me. I am sure Payton has you wrapped around her little finger.
What a difference your book will begin to make in my relationships
with my husband and sons. I have ordered copies to give others who are in my life.
Bless you for the courage to write so that you could minister to others.

My husband read this book a little over a year ago, when we found out we were pregnant with our first child. Our lives have not been the same since. This book has made a positive impact on our lives and the relationship we want to have with our children and family.
After being blessed with the birth of our first son and reading your book, we now understand the importance of church, family and God. We are now members of a church and attend every Sunday.
We are expecting our second son in July. We are going to name him Cole, in honor of your son and as a reminder of how important God and family are. We can't wait to have our own Love Wars and my husband can't wait for his first Dead Man's Talk.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful and inspiring story!
IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A TRUE RELATIONSHIP READ THIS BOOK! January 9, 2006
THIS BOOK GAVE ME THE INSITE INTO WHAT A RELATIONSHIP NEEDS BETWEEN A FATHER AND A SON. I HAVE A 17 YEAR OLD SON AND OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER AFTER READING THIS INCREDABLE BOOK. I HAVE LEARNED HOW TRUE LOVE IS SHARED NOT JUST GIVEN. LOVE IS TO BE RECEIVED ALSO.
I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOU THAT I AM A HUGE BOOK READER, HOWEVER, READING IS NOT ONE OF MY PASSIONS. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO READ THIS BOOK BY OTHERS THAT KNOW ME AND CARE ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY (STEP) SON. I ONLY USE THE WORD STEP HERE TO LET OTHERS KNOW THAT THERE ARE A FEW MORE ROAD BLOCKS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A SON FROM ANOTHER. RAISING COLE ALLOWED ME TO SEE THOSE BARRIERS AND MOVE OR DESTROY THEM. LOVE "WILL" CONQUER ALL. BACK TO THE ISSUE OF WHY I READ THE BOOK. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "I CAN READ THIS BOOK IN PROBABLY A MONTH OR SO AND GET BACK TO MY FRIENDS THEN. I READ RAISING COLE (TEARFULLY) IN 1 DAY. I COULD NOT BELIVE THE AWESOME TRUE ACCOUNTS IN THIS BOOK. WOW, I HAVE SINCE GIVEN THE BOOK TO MANY OF MY FREINDS SOME THAT HAVE CHILDREN AND SOME THAT DO NOT. THEY ALL HAVE TOLD ME THAT JUST LIKE MY SITUATION THEY HAVE HAD A HARD TIME PUTTING IT DOWN. LIKE NIKE SAYS (JUST DO IT)!
MY RELATIONSHIPS WITH MY WIFE, SON, AND TWO DAUGHTERS HAVE ALL BEEN POSITIVELY AFFECTED BY THIS BOOK. I SEE MYSELF LOVING MORE AND FROM A FATHER'S PERSPECTIVE I WAS BROUGHT UP TO BE STERN AND TOUGH AND REALIZED WITH "RAISING COLE" YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE THAT UP IN ORDER TO LOVE. I LIKE TO REFER TO IT AS TOUGH LOVE.
THANKS MARC PITTMAN FOR SHARING YOUR REAL LIFE AND DEATH STORY FOR THE WORLD TO SEE THAT TODAY MAY BE THE LAST DAY TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO SAY ANYTHING TO ANYONE AND FOR THAT I'M GREATFULL..
RUSTY PIPES

This is a must read not just for any father but for every one! Marc Pittman's insightful look at his relationships with his sons goes beyond football and beyond the typical scope of day-to-day parenting. I am thankful to Marc for candidly sharing his experiences and emotions. I will use 'dead man's talk' with my children and will never lose sight of what's important in life.
