"Letters to God"

I have watched the movie "Letters to God" twice this week. Yes, it's definitely worth a second view. It is great to find a movie that is not only unashamed to talk about God, but actually pushes us to a stronger belief. The characters in the movie are as common as anyone in any neighborhood, the good and the bad. The hero of the story Tyler, an 8 year old boy suffering from terminal brain cancer, truly exemplifies the description of "God's warrior" as bestowed upon him by a friend's grandfather. We see how his belief and his strength affect all those around him from his rebellious older brother to the drunken mailman. The movie makes you laugh, smile, and yes, cry. It makes you think about your relationship with God and how you react in difficult situations.


So, dear reader, if you're bored or even if not, I recommend you watch this movie. Watch it alone, watch it with a friend, watch it with family, but watch it.  I might even watch it again tonight.
