What life lessons do you want to teach your children? What if you don't live to communicate them? Richard Battle asked himself the same questions when he became a father for the first time at 45 years old. In Richard's words, "I wrote my six-month-old son, John, a letter sharing 43 Christian Scriptural truths in case I didn't survive to teach them to him. Unfortunately, John passed three months later before he could learn these lessons." The Unopened Present reveals a father’s love and the unopened present left behind by a life cut short. The easy-to-read format aids parents in teaching younger children and enables older children to discover the wisdom in these lessons.
