Learning from My Father : Lessons on Life and Faith

As a freshman at Harvard, David Johnson felt displaced, homesick, and overwhelmed by new intellectual challenges.

So he began exchanging letters with his father, a Presbyterian pastor.

Years later, David rediscovered those letters and realized how much candid, fatherly advice they contained -- and how their wisdom had shaped his life.

Based on excerpts from these letters, Learning from My Father reflects movingly on life and death, faith and doubt, as seen through the eyes of a father and a son.
