A Lesson to Sam is Joel Goldsmith's heartfelt message written to his stepson who was going away to school. The author knew that the profound spiritual principles contained in the letter, principles that had been a living part of their life at home, would guide his son no matter what new experiences he was to meet.  He  provides a simple practice of meditation for Sam that need only be a moment or two long several times a day:  "...listen way down inside of yourself; and then remember that this day which lies ahead of you is now God-governed, God protected, God-maintained, and God-sustained because you have consciously opened your consciousness to the presence and the government of God."   This small booklet is not only a gift of love from a father to a son,  but a practical guide for spiritual seekers of all ages.
