Amazing Courage

A former atheists letters to his father battling cancer show how faith can prevail over fear if we choose it. In a phone call hell never forget, Kyle Zunker learned that his father had esophageal cancer. Twenty-nine years old and a new follower of Christ, Kyle had never heard his father sound scared. They were both about to learn a lot about courage. Unsure about his fathers faith, Kyle wrote a series of letters to encourage him with the good news of the Gospel, revealing how fear had dominated his life as an atheist and trapped him in a lonely nightmare of panic attacks he had kept hidden for years. Combining these raw and unedited letters with reflections on other episodes from his life, Kyle shows what faith can do in our moments of greatest fear. Gods continuous presence, not always apparent in the moment, is the thread running through these stories. Writing from the unique perspective of someone who has wrestled with God as an atheist, Kyle shows that faith is a choice we are all invited to make, even when we have doubts. Letter by letter and story by story, Amazing Courage presents a beautifully candid dialogue between son and father and between man and God. It is powerful evidence that Christian hope can prevail over the despair of fear every time.
