In his first overseas trip as president, Barack Obama assured other nations that America is not a Christian nation. Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore begs to differ. Moore, who rose to national prominence when he disobeyed the order of a federal judge to remove a monument to the Ten Commandments from his courthouse, makes the compelling case that the state must acknowledge the moral principles on which America was founded and that it is not illegal to do so. While the separation of church and state may be a credible and legitimate tenet, it has been misconstrued and abused during the last 40 years. Moore swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States. His critics, both within conservative circles and without, have maintained that he violated the law by disobeying. But Moore argues that those who ordered him to violate his oath in fact broke the law. So Help Me God articulates why Moore believes elected and appointed government officials have the right and the obligation to acknowledge God as the foundation of American government.

Vir Tyler is God ’n vriend, leermeester en sy grootste penmaat. Hy hanteer sy siekte deur sy gebede in die vorm van briewe aan God te skryf en dit daagliks te pos. Wanneer Tyler al dodelik siek is, begin die posman Brady McDaniels die briewe lees en ontdek die krag van die seun se gesprekke met God. BRIEWE AAN GOD is geïnspireer deur die fliek LETTERS TO GOD wat gebaseer is op die ware verhaal van die agtjarige Tyler wat aan terminale breinkanker ly. Patrick Doughtie, Tyler se pa, het die roman saam met John Perry geskryf en dit in samewerking met David Nixon, mede-vervaardiger van FIREPROOF en FACING THE GIANTS, verfilm. BRIEWE AAN GOD is ’n verhaal van lag, liefde en triomf en benadruk die belangrikheid van ’n liefdevolle en ondersteunende gemeenskap en kerk-familie in tye van nood. Dit is ook ’n verhaal van hoop in alle omstandighede, die soort hoop wat gevind word in die eenvoudige, kinderlike vriendskap met God.
