Letters from Heaven is a unique creation by Calvin Miller. The book is a compilation of letters written to people that were instrumental in his life. C.S. Lewis, Johnny Cash and Farrah Fawcett are two familiar names, as well as many others. There are quite a few people that are not commonly known but they are just as important. Some of the letters mention regrets while others are full of praise, just like life. Calvin Miller made me think about the people that are special to me. There are so many! My immediate family, of course, but then there are also the unsung heroes (to me) that inspired me, believed in me, and moved me through words and/or actions. There are also apologies that need to be made. I am considering writing letters to these people. We never know when we will be called to heaven so now is the time to say things we need to say.
Letters to Heaven is not the best book I've ever read, but it truly made me stop and think. I believe that's what the author had in mind. He wants us to make the most of every day and to acknowledge those that are precious to us. It's a book full of thoughts, emotions and love. Read Letters from Heaven and be inspired.

That sounds like another book I'd love to read, Lori! You are so right...we don't know when we'll be called "HOME". One of Brittany's former high school teammates lost her dad two days ago. He'd suffered a massive heart attack and flatlined for 25 mins. before being revived. He never came out of the coma. It's just so very sad and makes you realize how fragile life really is.
