Hey Moms, this looks really good!
From one of the producers of Fireproof and Facing the Giants, Letters to God is an intimate, moving and often funny story about the galvanizing effect that one believing child’s faith can have on the lives of everyone around him.
Inspired by a true story, this is a heartfelt tale of inspiration, hope and redemption. It's also the moving account of what happens when a boy’s walk of faith crosses paths with an older man’s search for meaning. The resulting transformational journey touches their family, friends and community.
God, the Ultimate Penpal
Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary eight-year-old. Armed with the courage of his faith, he faces his daily battle against cancer with bravery and grace. To Tyler God is a friend, a teacher, and the Ultimate Pen Pal. Tyler’s prayers take the form of personal letters, which he mails on a daily basis.
Tyler's prayer letters find their way into the hands of Brady McDaniels, a beleaguered postman standing at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused and conflicted over what to do with the letters.
...a boy’s walk of faith crosses paths with an older man’s search for meaning.
Over time, he begins to form a friendship with Tyler, and eventually the mail man gets to know the other members of Doherty family. Tyler's tough, tender, yet overwhelmed mom, stalwart grandmother, and teen brother are all trying to withstand the doubts and chaos that Tyler's cancer has brought to their lives.
Moved by Tyler’s courage, Brady realizes what he must do with the letters. It's a surprise decision that will transform his heart and uplift his newfound friends and community.

I have heard about this movie! Sounds great! Thanks for the reminder to keep my eyes out!
I hadn't heard about this one!
my teenager just went with her Bible study group (life::group) to see To Save a Life..she said it was the best movie she has ever seen. My husband and I will wait until it comes out on dvd :)
Thanks for pointing this one out. It's quite hard to find films with a positive message about God in secular Britain. I like the fact they have chosen a tough subject and how they allow a lot of negative emotions to show, rather than showing perfect people.
Thanks for sharing the movie info. Good movies are hard to find. I've been enjoying Marriage Monday's again, I think I'd lost the link to this site a while back on my old computer. I have learned that a marriage won't just default to love and harmony, it has to be nurtured and invested in. Unity has to be cultivated through work and thoughtfulness. I'll be back. . .
Jaime: Where did you first hear about this?
Faith: DVD is always a great option!
Buffy: I agree... no perfect people in this movie.
In Word Adorning: Welcome back to Chrysalis and MM! You said this so well: I have learned that a marriage won't just default to love and harmony, it has to be nurtured and invested in. Unity has to be cultivated through work and thoughtfulness.
