3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A deep portrait of a father and son relationship. By phillip pitt I first met Marc Swift at the Fall Conference in Tulsa last November. I was intrigued as he shared about his son. Reading the book, I found out even more about Marc. This is the most touching story of unconditional love I have ever read, as Marc shares how he really got to know his son in later life. My heart ached as Marc shared about the abuse Josh suffered from his mother. Being a movie buff myself, I enjoyed hearing how Josh related to the movies. I could go on and on. I highly recommend the book. It's a very easy read, and highly enjoyable. If any Toastmaster friends in the Oklahoma City area want to read the book, I will be more than happy to loan it to you.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A book about child abuse doesn’t seem like it would end it joy By happy shopper BA A book about child abuse doesn’t seem like it would end it joy. Yet, that is exactly the message of the remarkable journey of author Marc Swift and his son, Josh. Abused by his mother and taken from his father’s life, both suffered until they found each other when Josh was an adult. Marc writes of a relationship with his son which is both horrific and beautiful. Marc’s unwavering faith in God’s presence and goodness brings both back from the brink of self-destruction to a place of peace and joy.But, author Marc Swift does not end the story there. He co-authored a workbook, Healing of the Heart Workbook - New Joy and Peace after Childhood Abuse, appropriate for youth leaders to help older teens and young adults examine their own lives. This workbook references The Coolness of Josh as Marc’s relationship and understanding of what Josh endured all those years became evident. A must read for anyone whose life has been touched by child abuse and who is seeking God’s existence in their life.

A grieving father's poignant and moving memoir of the loss of his son By anarchteacher He was my favorite high school student in a 20+ year teaching career. He was a brilliant writer and engaging conversationalist, always celebrating life and pursuing the elusive search for its deeper meaning. Marc Swift's poignant and moving memoir of the loss of his son and the celebration of his life is perfectly named. For Josh was indeed "cool." He was one of the most amazing persons I have ever known. Josh was also a master at concealing some of the darker secrets that had tragically shaped his wonderful life. Marc candidly explores these mysteries and reveals their horrific nature. Two aphorisms of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche captures this "coolness" of Josh: "That which does not kill us makes us stronger," and "He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying." While in his time on Earth, Josh danced and soared high above his fellow groundlings. He is deeply missed but never forgotten by those of us who had the treasured experience of knowing him. Celebrate his wonderful memory by reading this insightful and very unique memoir. For then you too will know of "the coolness of Josh."
