A primer of the simple human virtues we would want to pass on to our children and grandchildren.The realistic, yet compassionate view of life that Donald Jordan passes on to his grandchildren in The Creation: A Letter encourages all of us to share our beliefs and faith with our offspring and serves as a simple model of how to do so.Coupled with short, illustrative anecdotes, Jordan's encouragement to be kind, responsible and honest, to express gratitude and to forgive, and most of all to love provides genuine and humble guidance for any child or grandchild.The Creation: A Letter is comfortably and quietly inspirational. Jordan speaks convincingly about love, for instance, as a gift of the spirit, like faith: love makes us truly human as well as truly divine.All our worldly ambitions and accomplishments ultimately pale against the power of love. However instinctive love might seem, it does not develop naturally. It must be learned and cultivated.Love does not have to be returned. It is never divided. Instead it multiplies itself. Many flowers proliferate by casting their seeds. So too love grows stronger and more vigorous when it is freely given.Love is not just a feeling. It is a decision.Donald Jordan is a grandfather whose grandchildren know him as their "Grandonald." This book is for them and for you.
