When David Lawther Johnson was a freshman at Harvard, he felt displaced, homesick, and overwhelmed by new intellectual challenges. He wrote to his dad, a Presbyterian pastor in Indiana, seeking counsel, whereupon the two began an extended exchange of letters. After his father's recent death, David rediscovered these letters from long ago and was reminded of the candid and valuable advice about faith and doubt and life they contained -- wisdom that had shaped David's life as a lawyer, community leader, and parent. Learning from My Father captures the poignant relationship between a father and a son with writing that is beautifully nuanced, deeply compelling, and utterly readable. Dealing with essential life questions -- belief, love, evil, death, eternal life, and more -- this memoir is refreshingly honest and full of down-to-earth wisdom.
