A Lifetime of Words

Written to members and friends of Christian church

congregations, this collection of letters is not just for those

of faith. The letters were penned from 1963 to 2003 and are

organized by topic and date. Many of the letters reference

news events of the time, but Dr. Landry’s theology and

philosophy of life are universal and speak to concerns in our

world that remain relevant even today. The selected letters are

meant to challenge people by broadening their perception of

God and humanity. Dr. Landry was influenced by the leaders

of his generation: Gandhi, John F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther

King, Jr. These writings reflect his belief that faith should not

be a retreat from the world, but should be demonstrated by

acts of kindness, speaking out for social justice, and standing

up for equality. Bob had always talked of publishing his words

but he never found the time before his death in 2015. This is

the first book to be published on behalf of Dr. Landry by his

three daughters and his wife of 58 years.
