Dear Granddad,
One of your grandchildren who sat on the farmhouse porch and listened to your stories a few years ago, has stretched his education across extended years in these changing times. Yes, I am a part of that new dynamics in which college graduates are having difficulty finding the right career opportunities. Therefore, I am belatedly entering a Masters Degree program.
Many universities are involved in having their students combine academics and service. It’s the same here. So, I am a volunteer with “Teens Second Reach.” I have become acutely aware that many young people get caught in situations that trap them in bad decisions made out of conflicting identities.
So, Granddad, have you ever given thought to writing a story that will help troubled teens find their way back from deep disappointment - a story that could help them think their way through to positive solutions for negative situations? It’s not that there are not books already out that can help, but I believe your positive philosophy of making healthy choices could be immensely helpful.
If I had a book of stories with your positive philosophy, I could share it with students to help them put a new beginning beyond old endings.
Do you have some suggestions for me?
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.
