Dear Granddad,
It was a special moment for me when I heard you speak at the Young Writer’s Conference at the university today. When you came to the platform to speak, I leaned over and proudly whispered to my classmate, “That’s my granddad.”
It’s not every day that a college student can attend a Young Writer’s Conference where his granddad is the featured speaker. But, as a leading-edge thinker and metaphorical writer, you were the perfect choice.
As I sat there listening to you, I had a grand idea. You said that you were working on a new book of metaphorical stories. I thought, what if granddad would be willing to tell the stories he is writing in his new book to his grandchildren while he is writing them.
We all loved to listen to the stories you told us on the porch at the farmhouse, when we were all children. All of us are young adults now, but I kept adding to my idea. Even though you live in town and come out to the farmhouse only as a retreat, and to write, we could all come together on the porch at the farmhouse in a kind of story seminar, and you could tell us the stories you are writing for your book. Would you consider that?
You have been, not only an esteemed minister, practical philosopher, professor, and author, but a much loved granddad. You have followed your grandchildren’s college days and young careers with special interest. Because of your interest in all of us, I am daring to make this special request.
So I have come to the dorm, following your presentation, to write this email. What I hope is that you will say, “Yes.”
E-mail me back at your convenience.
Your grandson,
Steve

About the Book
Which is better, to live on the holding edge of the past, or the growing edge of the future?
Don Davis writes on the growing edge of the future. His novel,
A Place In The Story, is about choosing to live on the growing edge.
The seven sequels are more than just the best of serious fiction; they tell the story of Dr. Kelly, beloved granddad, who is also a down-to-earth philosopher of life, future-vision speaker and writer, and a most unusual professor.
Through A Place In The Story, we can shadow Dr. Kelly’s faith journey story and dare to dream our best dreams, then give them their best chance to happen as fellow pioneers of new tomorrows and the new sacred.
We live in the greatest age in all human history! We are indebted to the past, but we owe more to the future.
The rewards have never been greater for the human family to choose the identity markers of the Big Ten Universal Qualities to define our best future.
When we choose the Big Ten Universal Qualities for our identity markers our brain creates a kind of inner voice, a talisman, an alter ego, that magnetizes the identity markers that lead us to our higher self.
