Letters to God is the heartfelt and inspiring story of what happens when one boy’s journey touches the lives of his family, friends and community. Hope is contagious in this uplifting new DVD arriving on August 10 from Possibility Pictures and Vivendi Entertainment. An intimate, moving and often funny story, the film follows the path of a young child with a terminal illness who through his battle becomes a warrior for hope and a champion to everyone around him. Surrounded by a loving family and community, the young boy takes comfort in prayers written as letters to God. These letters find their way to a conflicted postman who is at a crossroads in his life, searching for meaning. Featuring moving performances from Robyn Lively (?Saving Grace,? ?30 Rock?), Jeffrey S.S. Johnson (?Criminal Minds,? ?Burn Notice?), Tanner Maguire (?Lost,? ?Brothers & Sisters?), Bailee Madison (An Invisible Sign of My Own, Don?t Be Afraid of the Dark), Michael Bolten (Flipped) and Ralph Waite (?Days of Our Lives?), the film is a stirring ?tribute to faith, hope, and love through the eyes of a child? (TBN). From one of the producers of Fireproof and Facing the Giants, and inspired by a true story, Letters to God received the highest Dove Approval Rating and an endorsement from the Parent Television Council. Brimming with bonus features, including On-Set Devotionals, Behind the Scenes, The Music Behind the Movie, Character Stories with Cast, Short Stories, Outtakes and Bloopers and more,
Synopsis:
Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy armed with strong faith and courage as he faces his daily battle against cancer. Surrounded by a loving family and community, Tyler’s prayers take the form of letters he sends to his ultimate pen pal, God, on a daily basis. These letters find their way into the hands of Tyler’s postman, Brady, who is at a crossroads in his life searching for meaning. Brady at first is confused over what to do, but his decision ultimately is a testament to the power of Tyler’s shining spirit, bravery and grace. Inspired by a true story, Letters to God delivers a message of hope, faith and courage that others can apply to their own personal struggles regardless of what they may face in their everyday lives.
I could not help but be teary eyes while watching Letters to God. The tears just kept coming, no matter what I did. Tyler’s story in general just touched my heart and I felt like I was right there with all of them. Just as Brady the mailman felt, he was brought into his life for a reason and those letters found their way into his hands for that same reason.
Somehow, thanks to the love and support of his family and friends like Sam, Tyler’s journey wasn’t a sad one. He was happy and he enjoyed being a kid, playing with his friends and doing all the things that kids love to do.
I think Letters to God is a great movie for the whole family. It was a really great movie and I think kids and adults alike can learn an awful lot about friendship, love and compassion from it.
