Query: A masterful literate letter of an old man's existential crisis

John Ames, a 76 year old preacher from Iowa, is dying. This book is his letter to his 7 year old son. An amazing exploration of father/son relationships and one preacher's existential crisis.This is *not* a "spiritual" book reserved for religious minded people; any parent, any adult, anyone interested in the human condition will find this a wonderful book.I read in one review that the book teaches you how to read it; and that is a terrific insight. The pace is more measured, but it is not slow, and there is treasure on every page.
