Abstract
- "Dear Boys: Letters to My Grandsons" by Bill Henderson is a collection of letters offering guidance to his grandsons, drawing on his journal entries, anecdotes, and the works of writers like Mary Oliver and T.S. Eliot. Henderson reflects on his faith, time spent in the wilderness, and the power of love, presenting himself as a mix of Boy Scout and rebel philosopher. While he struggles with skepticism towards technology and regret over the state of the planet, his focus on preserving family history and fostering intergenerational dialogue shines through. The book emphasizes the importance of gentle guidance and humility in passing down wisdom to younger generations. [Extracted from the article]
