In case I don't return, whenever I fly anywhere I always write a letter to my children on the night before I leave. I tell them the things that I want them to know more than anything else; about my love for them, and about where this love comes from and how it shapes the universe. In this moving and beautifully written book Chris Russell goes several steps further and says in ten lovely letters the things he wants to say to people he has known and ministered to. His love of life, his vivid and rooted faith, his desire to share with others the things he has received come shining through. And although the letters are addressed to others, each one spoke to my heart too. I'm sure they will do the same for anyone who reads this book. There is a file in my drawer with all my letters to my children in it. I think I will add these ten letters as well.
