Thirty Nine and Letting Go: A FatherÕs Journey through a SonÕs Addiction and Depression shares the difficult journey of a father who faced a parentÕs worst-case tragedy: the loss of a child. John B. Jenkins, a Christian minister, presents the story of his sonÕs addiction, depression, and eventual death. John felt inspired by the Lord to write this book while his son, Josh, was in a coma after his automobile accident in June 2016. He knew he needed to start writing the day after his sonÕs funeral. It is his hope and prayer that others can find comfort and encouragement as they read the experiences he chronicles of JoshÕs journey through his depression, his addiction, and his untimely death. As a minister, he hopes to show how the love and mercy of God is truly unending, and his grace is most certainly all-sufficient.
A fatherÕs memoir recalls the life and accidental death of a son and points to the boundless love and mercy of God that overcomes even realityÕs most trying moments.
