"From Grandpa With Love" "From Grandpa With Love" is a five volume series consolidating numerous booklets written over a period of 35 years by an aging Grandpa to pass on an inheritance of life experiences and learning to the children, grandchildren and succeeding generations who are following. Volume I Four Generations opens the series as "Grandpa" traces 85 years of life and concludes we are all on a common journey. As a result, many of us will have similar experiences at predictable times in our lives. In order to personalize the experience of having an "Adventure" to prepare us for the mature time of life, he includes a World War II Diary, describing his experience as a B-29 crew member who participated in the last bombing mission against Japan in 1945. Using a Biblical pattern of "sins" and "blessings" to the "third and fourth generation", "Grandpa" divides life into four generations of about 25 years each. In Generation I, we "Learn". In Generation II, we "Do". In Generation III, we "Teach". And in Generation IV, we "Finish". Once that pattern becomes apparent, we begin to see a rhythm in our own life and in the life of history, that helps us see where we are, where we have been, where we are going-and how we can pass on more "blessings" to those who follow. Volume II is about Faith which is the foundation for everything else we are and do, both now and for eternity. It opens and closes with some comments from a talk given to a group of college students entitled From Grandpa With Love, which became a pseudonym for some of his writings and the title of this series. Volume III Marriage discusses many of the experiences and conclusions God has given "Grandpa" in over 60 years of sharing life in the most intimate relationship ordained by God. In addition to personal anecdotes from his own life, he sets forth some of the reasons for marriage, the biblical roles of husbands and wives, and closes with the loss of his own dear wife and the preparations and lessons he hopes will be helpful for others as they or their loved ones go through this beautiful but very stressful time. In Volume IV Vocation, "Grandpa" draws on over 40 years of representing law clients in personal and business matters, and gives some concrete ways he found to use our God given gifts and talents to project His Kingdom into the world around us. Volume V Passing It On concludes the series by emphasizing the need and the opportunity we have to invest in other lives, both in our family and all our other relationships. Hopefully, walking through his observations and experiences over nearly nine decades may help readers capture and better share the joy and fulfillment that result from seeing others experience the wondrous life God offers to everyone who is willing to receive it. The purpose of all the books is first and foremost to convey what God has taught "Grandpa" on to the fourth generation (great grandchildren) in his own family. However, it is his hope that children and grandchildren everywhere, both now and in years to come, will enjoy taking "Grandpa" off the shelf and vicariously reliving some of his experiences and learning that may be meaningful as they come to their own choppy chapters in life. Perhaps other grandparents will sense a kindred spirit and find it helpful to pass on these books to those in their own families, and the family of God around them. To God Be the Glory!
