LESSONS FROM A FATHER TO HIS SON
Ashcroft, John
Thomas Nelson, 1998
222 pages

Ashcroft writes in a winsome style with instructive anecdotes, touching memories and very wise insights. It includes refreshing perspectives on the dangers of fame and power, and the rampant sickness of racism. There are many quotable principles for life, relationships, parenting and following Christ. For example, “In my father’s view — and I think he was right in this — the factory floor in Detroit can be holy ground; the stock market exchange on Wall Street can be holy ground; the local elementary school; the fire hall; the Elks Lodge; even the chew-’em-up-and-spit-’em-out halls of Washington, DC” (p. 208). Recommended for parents, leaders and pastors.
