Patrick Ferry

Concordia University Wisconsin president, Patrick Ferry, will discuss and sign his new book Faith in the Freshman. The memoir, based on his own life and family, spans more than thirty years. As a college freshman, Ferry loved basketball much like his young son who, as a college-bound young man, was off to play for his school’s team. But his son faced a challenge Ferry hadn’t: diabetes. Faith in the Freshman draws parallels between the lives of father and son, explores the obstacles his son would have to face, and contains important lessons on family, faith, academics, and transformation.
