Letters To Ethan: A Grandfather's Legacy of Life & Love
Dear Ethan:
Like the rest of us, you didn't come with an owner's manual. You'll probably wonder – more than once – why you're here. What is your life's purpose? How will you face the adversity your life will surely bring?
Despite appearances, no one's life is ever simple. We have our parents and our friends to learn from; they have much to teach us. And you'll hear a lot from, and about, public figures – athletes, newscasters, actors, politicians, artists…celebrities of every kind.
But making sense of the world we live in is something each one of us struggles with. The truth is, life is complicated. It's wonderful; it's awful; it's a thrill; it's a bore. And it can feel almost unbearable at times. Almost.
Fortunately, you're blessed with a family that loves you. Your grandfather, Tom McQueen, wrote you this book. No one has all the answers, but he's already faced many of the challenges you'll encounter.
Even those of us who've been around awhile can learn a thing or twelve from your grandpa. He's helped a lot of folks as a therapist; he's inspired audiences with his seminars; and he's shared his thoughts in several other books.
In these letters to you, Ethan, your grandpa reveals the mistakes and miracles that have shaped his life. Anyone can give advice, but true wisdom is hard-won. And the book you're holding contains plenty of it.
Sincerely,
Coach Lou Holtz

My Thoughts
Letters to Ethan is a grandfather's guide if you will to his grandson Ethan.Letters about facing adversity, love and the mistakes that happen in life while raising children or grandchildren. This book is inspiring and full of lifes lessons by one man to his grandchild. It is also a story of God and how you can keep Him in your life.
Now that I am a grandmother myself, I realize that it is so much easier being a grandparent than a parent because there are the lessons and mistakes that have already happened, not all good and not all bad either that we can all understand and pass on to the next generation. This book will inspire the reader young and old in their ongoing personal growth and development.
You can visit Legacy Nation to learn more about Tom McQueen and what other people have written in their own legacy of letters.
I received this book from Phenix & Phenix and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
