Rob Parsons, author of The Sixty Minute Grandparent and The Heart of Success, now a grandfather himself, shares some of the wisdom he's picked up down the years, from his own experiences and that of others he's met.
You don't always have to learn the hard way.
On the spur of the moment, the morning after the birth of one of his grandchildren, Rob Parsons wrote the baby a letter.
And then Rob began to think about how he hoped he'd have the chance to talk with all his grandchildren as they grew. He imagined them coming into his study, settling into one of the two comfy armchairs in front of the fire and opening up about the challenges they were facing.
Perhaps it would be when they were beginning their first job, buying their first house, getting married or starting a family. Or perhaps they'd talk long into the night, when their hearts were broken or friends had betrayed them. Perhaps he would have the chance to help them rebuild the dream that somebody had trodden on.
'Come on in, take a seat - tell me what's been going on...'
Rob knew he wouldn't have all the answers. But maybe he could help - just a little.
Premier Christian Radio featured THE WISDOM HOUSE across their radio programming and offered copies to those subscribing to Christianity Magazine. * Premier Radio *
There aren't many books that truly alter the way you look at your life, but this honest series of lessons, told through letter to the author's new grandchild did just that . . . This deeply personal book proves you don't always have to learn the hard way. * Idea Magazine *
A book in which he sets out the lessons he has drawn from experience which he would wish to talk about with his grandchildren when they are young adults. * The Church Times *
What came into my mind reading Rob's book was God's good grace in mapping out a particular and unique path for our lives - each of us. And we all have unique gifts that can confound those who don't understand our potential. * The Baptist Times *
