Excellent movie that will challenge and inspire you. Takes on the difficult issues of life threatening health issues and how your faith can be challenged and possibly increased by facing the unfacable.
The production quality, music and acting is dramatically improved relative to movies like Facing the Giants, which was produced by the same people for about 1/10th the budget. The song Dear Mr. God was written and performed by the Warren Brothers, who frequently write hit songs for Tim McGraw. Other music was done by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
As Tyler, an eight year old boy, faces his cancer, he mostly courageously smiles and encourages those around him. In his letters though, he has some serious concerns, sometimes about those in his family and his neighbors. As the movie progresses, those around him are effected my his struggle as much or more than Tyler is. The medical and emotional aspects of the movie and handled with a great deal of authenticity. The second half of the movie really picks up the pace as several of the characters come face to face with their own issues and Tyler and his Letters (prayers) to God serve as lightning rods of Hope. I would suggest you bring some Kleenex and invite everyone you know who's family has been affected by cancer to see the movie. I guess that's everybody. If you liked Fireproof or Blindside, you will be deeply touched by this movie.
