I started reading this book and found I could not put it down. I could not wait to see what was going to happen next and how the characters were going to all come together. I found myself saying, "Yes, I can identify with that! Yes, I have felt that before too!" I even said out loud, "No! Don't throw that letter away!" It is just a super book. I MORE THAN HIGHLY recommend it.
The Letters
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I am totally amazed at the maturity of this young author. The feelings and experiences of the characters are so real, and reading how they find their way to God is exciting, uplifting and different. This is one book I have recommended to all my friends and one I would recommend to everyone. While we may not ever receive a written on paper letter from God, He certainly does speak to us in various ways.
What a Gift !!

I received "The Letters"for Christmas. As I started reading this book I knew that GODS hand had to be on Sean Hanzelik. This is the kind of book that makes you feel like you are right there with these people and you feel like you know them. The book made me stop and think about how God tries to communicate with us and how we would be so much better off if we would just stop and listen. I hope everyone goes out and buys this wonderful book. It will be money well spent. I believe it will be on the Best Sellers List. I can't wait for Sean's next book.
Great Book

Sean's use of short messages from God to initiate changes in peoples lives caught my attention immediately. I have thoroughly appreciated the billboards we enjoyed for some time that displayed similar messages to the public at large. I have passed forward the copy of "The Letters" given to me and purchased several copies to give as gifts. Reading the book helped me to remember to listen to what God tells me to do and to do it quickly so that I do not lose the opportunity. Well worth the price and the time spent reading the book.
The Lord Moves in Mysterious Ways
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
When horrific atrocities are happening in the world, where is God? When an innocent child is being abused, where is Jesus? When your life is going terribly wrong and everything is falling down around you, where is our Savior? The answer to each of these questions is, "He is there." Sometimes He speaks to us and sometimes, He sends us letters. "Dear Reader, It is now time for you to read this book. I have helped write it for your enjoyment and for your enlightenment. Listen to your heart as you read, and hear My message. I look forward to speaking to you in the very near future. God." You might find this to be `over the top' until you crack open the book and read the divine messages displayed upon its pages. Sean Hanzelik has captured the extraordinary examples of how God reaches us and compiled them in what promises to be a breakout novel, The Letters. Why would I make such a profound statement about this book? Because The Letters' most important gift is not the story, but the messages it delivers. This book makes such a huge impact because it describes how there are no `random events' in our lives. God works in mysterious ways and He is always working. Even in the midst of our struggles and pains, Jesus is there. He so desperately wants us to turn our lives over to him rather than take on the world's circumstances on our own; however, it is always up to us to make that decision. When reading The Letters, you will feel each and every character. You will identify with their successes and what seem to be their failures. You WILL feel their pains. Most of all, however, you will feel their redemptions and you will realize how Christ is always standing ready to enter into our lives. We are always within the reach of His outstretched arms. Life's tests and trials come as opportunities to make us stronger, not to destroy us. As one of Hanzelik's characters, Odessa Greene states, "Wherever God puts you is a blessing." The Letters is an extraordinary novel about extremely ordinary people. There are several champions for Christ in this book however the only hero is the "Love of God". There are no enemies or evil foes represented between the pages, only the people who keep the characters from Jesus' love...themselves. Sean Hanzelik has created a story worthy of the bestseller lists. I hope you will take the time to read The Letters and share it with anyone who can benefit from its message and I believe that anyone is everyone. [...]
