Overview

The second volume in a collection of letters of wisdom to the author's ten grandchildren providing teen advice as they navigate the difficult growing up years. These letters are based upon biographical stories and experiences from the author's life, which he then weaves into important life lessons exhibiting Christian values and Biblical truths. In generations past, it was not unusual to have several generations living under the same roof where it was easy for grandparents to help pass on their Christian values and beliefs to the next generation. Today, grandparents find themselves separated from their grandchildren not only by distance, but by those same beliefs and values past generations so easily conveyed to the future. As a result, without a firm foundation provided by loving elders, many young people today find themselves struggling to know exactly what they do believe. Not knowing what they stand for, they will fall for anything. Unfortunately, it is usually not Biblical truth, but is the world's distorted version of truth. The letters contained in ""Love, Papa 2"" are filled with wisdom gained from a life lived fully and experienced through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. For grandparents struggling to find a way to share their faith with grandchildren they don't get to see as much as they would like to, ""Love, Papa"" creates a blueprint and supplies material to share life lessons and the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ with your grandchildren. Take the lessons Gary teaches and use your personal stories to illustrate the message within them, writing your own letters to your grandchildren.

""Reading these letters was like sitting on the bank of a pond, listening to a private conversation between a grandchild and his grandfather while fishing together.""Dr. Jay Flinn, PhD, Executive Director of Total Health ""This book is a treasure for grandparents. It is beautifully written, thoughtfully organized, and filled with wisdom our grandchildren need. Whether you live far away and need inspiration for your own letters, or live close by and need a book to read together to open up discussions, I don't know of a better resource."" Dr. Jay Martin, MD, Founder of Total Health, Elder Grace Point Community Church ""It's always a blessing to find a book that touches your heart, mind and soul while also teaching new lessons or perhaps reminding you of things you once knew but that have been pushed aside over the years. ""Love, Papa"" by Garold W Alexander is such a book. ""Love, Papa"" is a collection of letters written to the author's grandchildren; each one filled with wisdom gained from a life lived fully and experienced through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. For grandparents struggling to find a way to share their faith with grandchildren they don't get to see as much as they would like to, ""Love, Papa"" creates a blueprint and supplies material to share life lessons and the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ with your grandchildren. Take the lessons Gary teaches and use your personal stories to illustrate the message within them, writing your own letters to your grandchildren.""Jim Cates, Former President and Owner, Grace Point Solutions ""A few years ago my wife and I had the pleasure of hosting Gary and his wife in our home for meals while I was their pastor. During that time we would ask question after question about what's the wisest thing to do in parenting through a particular situation as they were older and had already raised their family. They shared principles they had gleaned from studying the Bible that guided their parenting decisions. Now as I read many of those lessons in ""Love, Papa,"" I find myself smiling, as far more than their grandchildren will be blessed to learn from the wisdom in these letters."" Pastor Terry Lewis - Grace Point Community Church, Lewis Center, Ohio
