Description

A collection of letters 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.

Join this grandfather as he shares his method of providing Christian grandparenting from a distance.

Critical Reviews

"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

"For about a decade, I had the pleasure of knowing and learning from Gary and his wife Robin. Although I was the pastor of the church they chose to attend and was younger than they were, they still joined in and both served and came with a desire to grow in their faith. Since their children were older than ours, more than once my wife and I would invite them for a meal, put on a movie for our four kids and then ask question after question about what's the wisest thing to do in parenting through a particular situation. They were wise to not get too specific with kids they didn't know well, but they shared principles they had gleaned from the Bible that guided their parenting decisions. What a gift those visits were. And now to read many of those lessons again 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 and Kelly Lewis - Grace Point Community Church, Lewis Center, Ohio
