Learn to love & love to learn

the long version

"'Learn to Love & Love to Learn' is the autobiography of a Hoosier lad born in 1933, depicting his struggles to overcome strict limitations imposed on him while growing up in an ultra-conservative environment. The story begins with the author questioning how a kind and loving Father-God could allow the innocent death of loved ones. The story then reverts directly to the 'nitty-gritty, ' to the growing and learning processes--from pre-school to the present. The book is filled with questions, many common and many stupid mistakes, guesses, selfish choices, and funny as well as sad and heart-wrenching experiences. It uncovers valuable discoveries as: 'Why?' is not only permissible, but an absolutely necessary question needed to understand life's meanings. This discovery and many more are revealed in bits and pieces, in lessons that can make the reader's life a much richer, much more meaningful, and much happier experience!"--Back cover.
