What an incredible catalyst in gaining knowledge into who your grandfather is now, and how they came to be that way. This prompted journal guides the writer to places and things they may have forgotten while allowing for complete individuality. The information I learned from reading my grandfather's responses to this book helped me gain a better understanding of how society has changed through the years. The memories that were told provided unmeasurable insight into my grandfather's life. This journal will be a treasure for my family now and for years to come!

This is a great series. My wife and I have completed the Mother and Father books and we have provided the grandparent books to each respectively. Each book in the series provides you with a number of topic headings covering all facets of your life. You fill out your history in your own words. What a great thing to give your child/grandchild. I don't typically take the time to review books. However, this series was worth the time. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Kinkade's "Grandfather's Memories for his Grandchild" is a wonderful gift for a granddad to complete and present to his grandchild later in life. I have carried mine in my briefcase for 10 years and add to it on airplanes, in airports and hotel rooms literally around the world. The questions are thought-provoking and, when answered carefully with candor, reveal a picture of granddad that the child may never experience, particularly granddad's early growing up years and family life. I am so taken with the sweetness and thoroughness of the questions that I buy multiple copies to give to friends who are new granddads. The experience in completing this treasury of insight results in a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind gift that's addressed only to that grandchild. And it will be treasured forever.

I've been looking for a grandfather-specific journal to give to my father-in-law. This looked respectable enough but I was disappointed to find Christian prompts and biblical quotes at the bottom of every page. If you're not Christian, you might be willing to overlook questions like "Your favorite verse about God". Unfortunately it's harder to ignore the random bible quotes at the end of every section.

"We love Him because He first loved us." This book is less of a celebration of the grandfather in your life and more of a devotion to the Christian faith.

I couldn't believe I received the book already! It's not due to arrive for 5 more days! Ther book is in great condition and I can't wait to give it as a gift.

I gave this book as part of the set (Grandfather's, Grandmother's, Mother's, & Father's) for Christmas a few years ago and both of my grandfathers got one. I had to write it for my father's father, who was blind and had alzheimer's, and I was so glad that I did. Everytime I read it now that he has passed I can almost hear his voice. My mother's father did his without me but gave me a lot of information that the family didn't know. My family actually used it to help plan his funeral when he passed. If I had any complaint about this particular book it is that it focused so much on religion that it seemed to ask very similar questions several times.

The book arrived promptly, in excellent condition. No Problems. Would order again from this vender. Good Job!

I an very satisfied with the book I ordered and it was the 6th one that I have purchased. All of them have been in excellent shape and arrived in a timely manner. Thanks so much

I bought this for my grandfather to fill out last year. I thought he had forgotten about it, but at Christmas I got it back under the tree. The pictures are beautiful and the book has questions in it that I would have never though to ask. If you really want to know about your grandfather, get this book. I loved that the pictures were by Thomas Kinkade, they just fit together so well. Beautiful product, great questions!

My daughter was 18 months when we purchased this for her grandfather. When he opened it Christmas morning he had tears in his eyes. I know that when my daughter is older and her grandfather gives her the book back (with his life written inside), she will have tears too. The book has beautiful pictures in it and everything will be listed that you might want to know about a grandfather. Just a bit of advice, do not purchase this book if you are not of Catholic/Christian faith. My next purchase will be "Grandmother's Memories to Her Grandchild."
