Book Description
We all need advice growing up and facing the big stuff life gives us. We all need the voice of a parent or a good friend who has lived through joy and suffering and has thought deeply about it. Kent Nerburn is an extraordinary writer who can be that voice when we are lost and in need of guidance. Letters to My Son, written for his son, Nick, but true for all of us, shows us that life isn't always shared in all its richness with those we meet along the way. Kent shares with us what he believes, and makes us look at the hard questions, but never offers easy answers. Like a wise and gentle friend, he guides us to the truths that emerge when you approach life openly and honestly.

Book Description
This is a coming-of-age book. Most young men are thrust into the world at the age of eighteen and told to get a job or go to college. People of a certain age know it's not quite that simple. This book includes advice to young men (and young women, in some cases) about what direction they should be thinking of going into. Being honest, most parents are too busy to focus on the little things that my book will provide, especially to single moms.

Book Description
The death of your child breaks you. With some luck, you may be able to rebuild most of who you were before that loss so that you are not a complete stranger, even to yourself. Even then, you know that you will never be the same again. There will always be a piece of you missing, leaving you forever broken. With the loss of her son, Jeramie, to a car accident, author Daynabelle Anderson found this to be true of herself: a forever broken mom. She then had to decide whether to fight it and live her life, trying in vain to be whole again, only to punish herself over and over when her efforts resulted in failure. Or she could accept that this was who she was now--to allow herself to be broken and to forgive herself for it. She chose the latter, and now she chronicles her journey into that brokenness. This personal narrative offers one mother's story and her perspective on how to live with grief, intended for anyone who has lost a loved one and who feels pressured to move on.

Letters to My Children

Author: Daniel Taylor
Publisher: Bog Walk Books
ISBN: 9780970651129
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 177

Book Description
A collection of short letters, most centring on a powerful story from the author's life, that convey core values and attitudes from a father to his child. Topics addressed include death, right and wrong, thinking about God, cheating, failure, popularity, studying, sex, self-esteem, prayer, family relationships, materialism, and marriage. One typical letter addresses the question of how to be a friend to unpopular kids at school and tells the moving story of the time the author was told he should ask the girl with polio to dance. Many of these letters are rooted in childhood and adolescence, others in youth and early marriage. They speak honestly and engagingly to both the young and to those who are trying, the best they can, to raise them. Read these stories with your children or by yourself and smile in recognition as you remember your own struggles to understand the world and your place in it. Then, as the afterward suggests, tell a few stories of your own.

Book Description
The second edition of Letters to My Son is even more powerful than the first edition, with many more pages of valuable insights into the griever's journey. This edition also contains many more of the author's evocative pencil illustrations. This moving exploration of the process of grieving is authored by a father whose nine year- old son died following a two-year battle with a recurring malignant brain tumor. During the months that followed his son's death, the author wrote letters and poems to his son as a catharsis for his grief. In that process he discovered that there is life after death on both sides of the equation and that miracles do happen. A compelling story of love, loss, and recovery that will grab your heart, nourish your soul, and open your eyes, Letters to My Son is a must read for anyone who has experienced a great loss and is trying to find some path out of the darkness of their despair.
