“I don’t care how many works of this nature have been written, please remember Dr. T. Gregory Lynch’s work is one of a kind and is far more unique than any of them. I am confident none of the others has the readability that The Sole Surviving Son has! It has a “novelesque” quality that would be very hard to match. In my opinion, the book is a masterpiece because it touches the human spirit and will continue to do so for future generations.”
