An Enduring Read From A Father To His Son

Seldom do we think about our actions until after the fact. This is especially true when drugs or alcohol is involved. We rarely see the fruit of abusing such things until it is too late. By that time, the fruit has become sour or rotten and darkness has crept in. In Letters to My Son Gary Bowen culminated from letters the author wrote to his beloved son during his incarceration in jail. 

Letters to My Son is an endearing read. Each letter expresses not only his thoughts, but preaches the Gospel of Truth as the author was led to instruct his son to get back on track with the Lord. After a series of arrests, it was later revealed that the son was hanging our kids that were considered “Goths” whom are believed to worship the devil. Revealing that there are only 2 paths to follow in this world, one is to serve God, and the other is to serve Satan.  

As with much in life, the choice is yours as the author reiterates that just being a “good” person will not get you to Heaven, but confessing Christ with your mouth and believing in your heart that Jesus died and rose again to pay for your sins. Within this, the author’s instruction speaks to sons, but to all, encouraging them to follow God, most importantly reminding them to adhere to God’s words above all else as noted in Proverbs, presenting that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.  

Through scriptural instruction is given on our thoughts and a walk with the Lord that reiterates the importance of prayer, daily Bible reading and community within a church. Readers will find this read inspiring and insightful. It is the hopes of the author that others will read these letters to his son and become born again. With much Biblical wisdom, the author speaks truths into the hearts of those that have been deceived into serving the Father of Lies, Satan. This book comes highly recommended as an evangelistic tool to reach out to those who are lost and/or imprisoned and/or using drugs.
