A gripping true story from beginning to end...
How could he redefine his faith outside the four walls of religion? With a distinct voice and disarming honesty, Letters to My Son in Prison offers a candid snapshot of fatherhood, a refreshing take on marriage, and a creative vision of faith..
To go from the podium to the back pew and then out the back door disoriented him.
Ken is most revealing, however, about the impact all this had on his faith.
The written word became the perfect medium for a Father to reconnect with his son-and himself.
And they were clarifying for Lucas, as he made sense of losing his way, ultimately writing a heart-wrenching apology to the widow of his victim.
Writing the Letters proved cathartic for Ken.
Letter writing turned out to be the best way to connect.
Face-to-face visits made them feel like they were in a fishbowl and phone calls were interrupted with inmates screaming.
What did I do wrong as a dad? Will my son ever be okay? Will my marriage survive this trauma? Estranged from his son, Ken strived to rebuild their relationship.
Ken was tormented by doubt.
Instead, he got an education on the street names of opioids, fluency in rehab vernacular, and an insider\'s view of the California prison system, when his middle son, Lucas, accidentally killed a man with his car while high on heroin.
He envisioned fatherhood as coaching their sports teams, taking them to church (where he was the pastor), and visiting colleges one day. -Barbara Legere, author of Keven\'s Choice Ken raised his three sons in a squeaky-clean suburb of Los Angeles.
It will renew your faith in love and redemption and give you a sense of hope.
If you are looking for a deeply moving and inspirational read, I highly recommend this book.
This makes it easy to connect with and feel invested in the story. -David Booth, coauthor of Own the Room Guidroz shares his wisdom and insight in a relatable way.
Ken has laid his heart and soul on the table and done it with unflinching courage.
No treacle for effect.
It\'s raw, straight from the heart.
So why do I like Guidroz\'s book so much? Because Letters to My Son in Prison makes the grade as literature worthy of reading in depth. -Cathy Byrd, author of The Boy Who Knew Too Much I\'m not a believer and I\'m not a father.
One of the most thought-provoking books I\'ve ever encountered.
It is intelligent, humorous at times, and overflowing with spiritual insights.
A gripping true story from beginning to end..
