This book is in the form of a letter from a dying pastor to his young son is beautifully written, wonderfully painted and sculpted with words and phrases.
Some of the biblical references were lost on me but that didn't stop me from enjoying the book anymore than not understanding abstract art would keep me from enjoying a painting.
Like a delicious dessert to be enjoyed just for the pleasure of it.
