Letters to God

I heard about this movie this morning while driving to work on American Family Radio. It is a faith based movie and it is only opening in 800 movie theaters in the U.S. On the radio, they were talking about how important the first weekend a movie opens is. If this movie has high ticket sales this weekend it will send a strong message to Hollywood and the movie industry that people want to see more movies like this! I don't know about you, but I sure would! I think it is important that Christians support Christian movies. Hopefully, Hollywood will get the message that people want to be able to go see a move that is good, clean, wholesome, and family friendly! I looked it up and it is playing at Tinseltown in Beaumont, so I am going to see it tomorrow! Here is a description off yahoo movies about the movie....

"Tyler Doherty is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy. Surrounded by a loving family and community, and 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 letters, which he composes and mails on a daily basis. The 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. Over time he begins to form a friendship with the Doherty family - getting to know not just Tyler but his tough, tender yet overwhelmed mom, stalwart grandmother and teen brother Ben - who are each trying to stand strong against the doubts that come with the chaotic turn their lives have taken. Moved by Tyler's courage, Brady realizes what he must do with the letters, a surprise decision that will transform his heart and uplift his newfound friends and community - in an exhilarating act of testament to the contagious effect of one boy's unwavering faith against the odds."


Hope you have a great weekend! TGIF :)

I agree with you that we should support Christian movies, I think the Hollywood industry would be surprised at how many people would turn out to see them! :)
