Helpful Score: 1


It's a letter written by an old, dying preacher to his only child, his 7 y/o son. Of the highest quality writing and very humbling, I really see this as a story of legacy, regret and forgiveness. Loved it! Written for a secular audience, Christians will love the subtleties of the author's theological inter-weavings, whether you agree on his finer doctrinal points or not. Loved it!
