Product Description
Product Description
Born in 1767, John Quincy Adams entered his country's service while a mere lad as secretary to the Russian Embassy and remained through life a public servant, filling successively the posts of secretary, ambassador, United States Senator, Secretary of State, President, and finally Representative in Congress.
However, all of these remarkable achievements are secondary to his role as father. Though a busy man, Adams made it his priority to study the Bible and to train his son to love God's Holy Word. His example stands out for all men as a shepherd who loved his family flock. This volume contains nine personal letters of counsel and admonition that he penned to his son while traveling away from home.

This review is from: The Bible Lessons of John Quincy Adams for His Son (Paperback)
This is a wonderful example of thoughtful, insightful, loving letters from a father to his son. It is abundantly clear that John Quincy Adams had a love for the physical as well as the spiritual well being of his son. It is clear that he wanted his son to care about the important things of this world. John Quincy Adams was a student of the Bible and it shows. I believe that some of his doctrines may have been flawed and the author deals with that in the forward, but he left the letters just as they were as not to change the text. This is a wonderful book that I highly recommend.
