Letters to John Boy — Grief, Faith & the Fight Against Suicide (with John Anthony) - Part 1

In this deeply personal conversation, Bill is joined by John Anthony—former Illinois state representative, law enforcement officer, and current radio host of Detroit’s Morning Answer and Black and Right Radio in Chicago. John shares the story behind his powerful new book, Letters to John Boy, written after the heartbreaking loss of his son to suicide. Together, they discuss:

• Why John felt compelled to write the book and how the process became a source of healing.
• The stigma around losing a child and how grief impacts every part of life.
• Memories of his son—his humor, love for sports, and the way he lit up every room.
• How John structured the book with letters, advice, scripture, and prayers to help others struggling with loss and mental health challenges.
• Why he hopes the world remembers his son for his life—not just the way it ended.

Letters to John Boy is available at BlackAndRightRadio.com (signed copies) and on Amazon.
