Letters to God: A Novel
Letters to God: A Novel

Heartfelt cancer journey through a child's letters.

If the idea of raw human emotions conveyed through the innocent eyes of a child intrigues you, "Letters to God" could touch your heart deeply. Tyler's letters offer a unique and poignant perspective on life and faith that could resonate with anyone facing life's tougher trials. It's a tale that invites empathy and reflection, perhaps even comfort, to those grappling with their own struggles.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This novel is inspired by the major motion picture, Letters to God, scheduled for theatrical release in spring 2010. Viewers of the film will be eager to read more of this inspiring story. Tyler, a nine-year-old boy, is stricken with incurable brain cancer and begins to write letters to God. He turns his suffering into spiritual lessons for his widowed mother, his embittered adolescent brother, and a troubled postman. Letters to God probes some of the most important and most-often-asked questions that trouble people like 'Why do we suffer?' 'Where is God?' 'Why do godly, faithful children have to battle cancer?' This inspiring story of hope will help readers from all walks work toward greater understanding of God's presence and care.
