About this audiobook
This audio download 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 hear 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 of faith: “Why do we suffer?” “Where is God?” “Why do godly, faithful children have to battle cancer?” This inspiring story of hope will help people from all walks work toward greater understanding of God’s presence and care.

Reviews for Letters to God
6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This novel reads like a non-fiction book about a young boy inspired through his late father's letters to God to write his own letters to God when he finds himself faced with a life-threatening illness. While the boy's childlike faith might strike some as contrived or unlikely, I have seen this kind of faith and courage in youngsters in real life, as well as the very realistic reactions of the older brother who feels abandoned and the mom who cannot comprehend why double tragedy would enter her life. Perhaps my favorite part of the book, though, was the uncharacteristic compassion and insight provided the boy by the grandfather of his best friend. A quick read, this one's a winner.
