In a series of letters to his first great-granddaughter, Dr. Delaney discusses the problem of a world seemingly gone mad because its spiritual well has gone dry, gives answers to the basic questions of life, gives an overview of how and why the family has been the target of evil influence, and discusses the amazing biology of how we are wondrously made-a life that is a gift and a life that is human. Richard P. Delaney, MD, practiced family medicine for over 60 years in Silver Spring, Maryland. He was greatly beloved by his patients. Dr. Delaney strongly promoted the Catholic teachings on marriage and the family.
