Letters. Whether bound by string and yellowed by age or e-mailed across cyberspace, there is something romantic, even magical, about the intimate thoughts and treasured words of those who care for us. Leave it to gifted storyteller Jack Cavanaugh to bring us the most wonderful correspondence of all: letters from heaven, our true home. With the warmth and brevity of a short story collection, yet the piercing conviction of C. S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters, Cavanaugh brings to vivid life four celestial residents who represent the great cloud of heavenly witnesses: Dr. Everett Parker, a fatherly doctor from the Civil War; Jared O'Connor, a yuppie screenwriter, killed in his prime; Theodora, a courageous young martyr from ancient Antioch; and Shankala, a witch doctor’s daughter from an Ethiopian village. As the four characters' lives on earth unfold in these letters, readers will be caught up in their stories even as they are struck by glimmering spiritual truths. This collection of letters will encourage those who struggle to live by faith, those who yearn for an eternal perspective, and even those who are curious about heaven. In a unique presentation, Cavanaugh teaches kingdom values to the earthbound who still have their lives to live and can only long for home.
