As a grandparent, parent, or mentor, you help write the future biographies of those whom you love or care for by what you teach them verbally as well as what you model for them. The well-being of our next generations and of our country depend upon how well we each teach these lessons. Worth Helms has captured 106 of the lessons he hopes to help teach his grandchildren and other mentees in the form of what he calls "Blocks". When integrated and cemented together, these "Blocks" form a foundation upon which your loved ones or mentees can build a solid, well-supported life. Many of the lessons herein come from his own mentors and experiences which he uses to illustrate the concepts. He reveals many of the mistakes he has made which have taught him these lessons as well as the successes. "A Foundation for Life" will serve as a reminder of and help crystallize the things you want to teach your family and other persons you mentor. Some of its "Blocks" will serve as a springboard to remind you of lessons you have learned in your own life.which you may want to teach. Several suggestions are included with language to help teach the concepts to younger children.

As one of the endorsers says, "Learn the books contents the way learning occurs best: teach it to someone yiou love and make its lessons outlast you."
