My daughter was diagnoised with a very serious illness three years ago. The movie brought back many feelings we have felt during her illness. Sad and frightening times as well as good times. The many prayers said in the hospital chapel as well as the quick little pleas to God to make her well came flooding back. Life is very fragile and uncertain and we must thank God for everyday we have together. We know not what tomorrow will bring for any of us. The strength of this young man certainly is an inspiration to everyone. Although his struggled ending in a way this family did not want to happen, he and his faith is truly an inspiration to all. OUTSTANDING AND A MUST SEE MOVIE. Was this review helpful? If you submit feedback on this review in the future, we will overwrite your previous feedback.

by Marc T. Newman, Ph.D.
This Friday an amazing thing is going to happen. The kind of movie that evangelicals loudly claim to want is coming to a theater near you. Letters to God -- a film directed by one of the producers of Fireproof -- is a family drama about Tyler, a young boy who literally writes, and mails, letters to God. In the letters, Tyler speaks to God as a close friend in a way that recognizes that he may meet his Maker before too long. Tyler has cancer.
As you can imagine, the U.S. Postal Service does not have a lot of luck getting Tyler’s mail to God, so the task falls upon a troubled mail carrier, Brady, to deal with the letters. He tries to take them to a church – a seemingly fine place to deliver letters to God – but the local pastor makes it clear that the letters were entrusted to Brady for a reason. So Brady, a divorced dad struggling with his own demons, suddenly discovers that he is on a mission from God.
Letters to God has a lot of talk about Jesus. People openly pray in this film, discuss death, and rejoice in their lives. Maddy Doherty, Tyler’s mother, is a single mom trying to raise two boys. The family – including a helpful grandma -- cares about each other, though they are not perfect, and not all endings are happy ones. If this sounds a lot like the real life of Christians you know it may be because Letters to God is based on a true story. Young Tyler’s real-life letter writing campaign has changed the lives of countless others.
So where do you come in?
Christians lament the realistic portrayal of Christians on the screen. They say that they want to see more positive content – films that move them spiritually and that they can use to make an impact in the lives of their friends. But when To Save A Life came out earlier this year, it grossed only $4 million – despite being a better (and more thought-provoking) film than many Hollywood-produced small films...
