Love Letters to God is an intensely personal and deeply theological book of epistles between two dear friends. The authors hail from different backgrounds in faith, family, and life circumstances but find common ground in their devotion to Christ, Christianity, and each other. The letters chronicle a year in the life of this friendship, marked by fervent faith and bouts of unbelief; suffering and rejoicing; death, loss, and baptism; and the sanctification of a friendship. The tone is at once literary and personal, peppered as much with theological references as unrefined vulnerability, and speaks to all who cherish their faith and their friends.

Reviews for Love Letters to God

""This is an inspired book. In the tradition of pre-modern theological and pastoral writing, this creative project brings us into a shape of a life through dialogue. The letters allow for a rich and lived theological construction. Both in style and content, there is much to learn from and be inspired by in this book."" --Andrew Root, Carrie Olson Baalson Professor of Youth and Family Ministry, Luther Seminary ""Like stained glass panels adorning our houses of worship, illustrating the Gospel for an illiterate people, this book--a holy sanctuary of such windows--illuminates the human side of salvation, telling the story of God's love with uncommon honesty and striking beauty. Like all great art, these letters effectively bypass the head and penetrate straight to the heart."" --Eric Eugene Peterson, pastor, Colbert Presbyterian, Colbert, Washington ""How can a correspondence between two people reflect the intellectual heft of a C. S. Lewis, the emotional integrity of a Frederick Buechner, the spiritual tenderness of a Henri Nouwen, and the freedom to doubt of a Phillip Yancey? This book is how. I hope this is the future of the church."" --Kelly Flanagan, author of Loveable: Embracing What Is Truest About You So You Can Truly Embrace Your Life
