Stark Raving Dad!: A Fairly Functional Guide to Fatherhood

A Laugh-a-Minute Look at Fatherhood

Like Dave Meurer's previous successes, Stark Raving Dad offers delightful anecdotes that take aim at the highs—and lows—of fatherhood. His humor is seasoned by a Christian worldview that makes insightful spiritual points when the reader least expects it. It is the perfect book for those who are "decidedly male"—and those who dare to love them!

Though often compared to Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck, Meurer's comic genius is all his own. As Christian publishing's funniest father and husband, Dave Meurer's, "fairly functional guide to fatherhood" makes a perfect gift for Dad or anyone who needs a laugh.

Besides being a writer, David Meurer is also a dedicated husband and the father of two boys, and it's from these experiences—and some of the humorous situations that arise—that Meurer mines the comic of two of his books, Boyhood Daze and Daze of Our Wives..

When not debating his sons on the merits of eating zucchini, inadvertently mangling his wife's prized plants with a weed trimmer, Dave works for a California congressman in the United States House of Representatives.

A talented writer whose humor columns and other articles may be found in major magazines like Focus on the Family and HomeLife, Dave has won numerous writing awards and honors, including the top scholarships from the California Newspaper Publishers Association, the Gannet Foundation, and the Laymen's National Bible Association.

The entire Meurer family makes their home in Redding, California.
