Letters to My Grandchildren (Paperback)

Rod Healy, like most grandparents, wanted to offer his grandchildren something last�ing, something that told them what he believed and the values that he felt were impor�tant for them to have in their lives. But would there ever be grandchildren for him? As he and his wife took their college-age son, David, to the University of Virginia hospital for 14 hours of brain surgery to remove an egg-sized tumor, the future looked bleak. It was then, trusting God and waiting to see if his son would even live, that Rod began putting together the thoughts, the values, the hopes, and the dreams that he wanted to pass on to his yet unborn grandchildren. This inspirational book of 43 letters brings to us the essence of that longing in his heart for them. It is a book that touches our hearts as well. Here are the biblical life values, the belief and trust in God, that will resonate with every parent and grandparent who doesn't want to lose out and miss the opportunity to say to those who will come after them what is truly most important. In these pages, the author not only reaches out to his own grandchildren, but also he helps us to see how we can reach out to ours. It is a legacy that will live on, long after our generation is gone. It is a heritage, a gift, that Rod has given-and that we can give too. Rod Healy began writing Letters to My Grandchildren when he was still uncertain that grandchildren would ever be given to him. He has for many years been a Sunday school and Bible teacher and a writer for his church. He and his wife, Terry, live in Kingsport, Tennessee.
