Story
Living A Meaningful Life is a series for adults and teens of all ages. Book 10 of the series, "The Substitute," is a very amusing, inspiring, and touching installment which moves the series deeper into allowing the listener to experience the very deep, complex, and meaningful relationship between father and son. The themes are still very much about sacrificing to do what is right, but also shows us what a loving parent and child relationship can look like. This is a particularly fun and amusing installment, and Rudy does not disappoint.
