"It’s always a blessing to find a book that touches your heart, mind and soul while also teaching new lessons or perhaps reminding you of things you once knew but that have been pushed aside over the years. Love, Papa by Garold W Alexander is such a book. Love, Papa is a collection of letters written to the author’s grandchildren; each one filled with wisdom gained from a life lived fully and experienced through the saving grace of Jesus Christ.  For grandparents struggling to find a way to share their faith with grandchildren they don’t get to see as much as they would like to, Love, Papa creates a blueprint and supplies material to share life lessons and the life changing gospel of Jesus Christ with your grandchildren. Take the lessons Gary teaches and use your personal stories to illustrate the message within them, writing your own letters to your grandchildren." Jim Cates, Former President and Owner, Grace Point Solutions

“Reading these letters was like sitting on the bank of a pond, listening to a private conversation between a grandchild and his grandfather while fishing together." Dr. Jay Flinn, PhD, Executive Director of Total Health

“This book is a treasure for grandparents. It is beautifully written, thoughtfully organized, and filled with wisdom our grandchildren need. Whether you live far away and need inspiration for your own letters, or live close by and need a book to read together to open up discussions, I don't know of a better resource.” Dr. Jay Martin, MD, Founder of Total Health

"For about a decade, I had the pleasure of knowing and learning from Gary and his wife Robin. Although I was the pastor of the church they chose to attend and was younger than they were, they still joined in and both served and came with a desire to grow in their faith. Since their children were older than ours, more than once my wife and I would invite them for a meal, put on a movie for our four kids and then ask question after question about what’s the wisest thing to do in parenting through a particular situation. They were wise to not get too specific with kids they didn’t know well, but they shared principles they had gleaned from the Bible that guided their parenting decisions. What a gift those visits were. And now to read many of those lessons again in “Love, Papa,” I find myself smiling, as far more than their grandchildren will be blessed to learn from the wisdom in these letters." Pastor Terry and Kelly Lewis - Grace Point Community Church, Lewis Center, Ohio
