Standing Over Home

Standing Over Home is written to help broken sons—young men who lacked the love and direction of a father figure—discover respect and learn missed lessons about love and protection that were never passed down to them during their formative years. Through the eyes of author Dennis Powell, division champion Dodger pitcher, Standing Over Home communicates metaphorically this picture of the importance of a father’s role to stand as protector and priest over his home and family. Just as a batter “stands over home” with the battling responsibility to hit or to move the runner forward, so does a father “stand over his home” to provide for, guide, and protect his family, moving them ever forward. The book draws from the real account of a son who faced and overcame some heart-breaking tragedies in life.
