Letters to My Children: A Father Passes on His Values

by Daniel Taylor

Book Overview

When Daniel Taylor asked himself those questions, he found himself recalling stories from his past. Stories about dancing with the girl always chosen last, about being bored in church, about facing the neighborhood bully. Reflecting on those experiences and retelling them in letters to his children, he began to share in a profound way his deepest convictions about friendship, prayer, family, church, honesty, self-image and faith in God.

Customer Reviews

Touching the head and the heart.

Wonderful book that touches both the head and heart. Each chapter is a self-contained story that is meant to illustrate a particular point he is attempting to get across to his "children." He uses story to communicate these truths which make them not only affect one's mind, but affect their heart as well. As a teacher, Daniel's work, especially this book, has effected the way I communicate truths to my audience. I use truths, wrapped in story, to let others feel and know truth. Lovely work.

Filled with Truth

Taylor is a gifted story teller. He uses stories to pass on wisdom and encouragement to his children. But you don't have to be a child to benefit from his stories. They are valuable for anyone. Structured in relatively short chapters that each answer one of his child's questions, this book is perfect for being read alone in multiple sittings or outloud to your spouse/friend/or child. Taylor's wisdom is evident, but so is his sense of humor. Don't miss this book.
