I’ve known Jerry Gibson over the past few years, first as my patient and

now as my mentor and brother in Christ. My relationship with Jerry has

helped me gain a great appreciation for the many similarities between our

physical and spiritual health. You see, sin is like a terrible disease. Failing to

surrender to God’s healing love is comparable to having a terminal illness and

not seeking medical care. God is the ultimate physician. He has the perfect

cure for our most deadly disease . It is through our love relationship with God’s Son and through the

powerful wisdom of God’s magnificent Word that we can face the

countless choices that need to be made in our lives.

In A Letter from Grandpa, Jerry addresses some important decisions

that must be made by two of his teenage granddaughters. There has been a

death in the family, and one of the girls had to choose whether to attend

the memorial service or go to a concert featuring one of her favorite

rock stars. Jerry’s Bible-based advice about making choices and facing

difficult life decisions is given in a compelling yet loving way that speaks

to all of us, both young and old. The guidance in his letter can and should

be applied to any choice in our lives. Reading A Letter from Grandpa will

help teenagers, parents, and grandparents tackle life’s decisions with

confidence and peace. It has already touched numerous lives and I know it

will also touch yours.
