REVIEW:
"Rev. Daryl Ward has given us a document of dedication that deals with ministry, suffering, sacrifice, service and transition. Throughout Letters To My Son: Advice for Today's Pastors and Christian Leaders, we hear and feel 'the sound of the genuine' (Howard Thurman). The sound comes from God through Daryl Ward and his multiple experiences as a sacred gift to us and coming generations. Thank you, Rev. Ward, and thanks be to God."
