This booklet's pages are one-liners as biblical truisms, followed by a short prose summary of Judeo-Christian doctrine, and end with a personal note to my child with universal application. Jim Elliot's famous final words are listed last for his martyred virtuosity.
This man cannot re-read his own words without either weeping or laughing. People need that as God only knows. Therein is this letter's orientation to what is called the great commission of Jesus Christ. Like the lawyer Jesus mentioned, you may not want to contract but for expediency. The truisms are written delicately yet definitely.

I've Irish wit and Spanish fervor plus a long familiarity with death honed to it. With a special concern for children as observed by all my parentage from early on is this poetic biblical apologetic.

He confessed that name in the presence of an experienced person. And this was long after he first asked God to help him. 'Problem was, he got to helping himself. God is patient, to a point.
