In Life in Letters: A Christian Young Person's Guide to Virtue, Integrity and Peace, readers are presented with a colorful and contemporary painted alphabet that draws its influence from the medieval images used in illuminated manuscripts that were rendered by the ancient scribes. Each image is accompanied by hand-lettered words of counsel that provide encouragement to middle-grade-aged children who are looking to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. Additionally, each letter is also paired with a corresponding Scripture passage that emphasizes God's unchanging love for him or her. Though the book is primarily intended for children, parents are invited to take an active role with a discussion guide featuring questions to inspire conversation throughout the reading experience. The end result is a family devotional that will be cherished by readers young and old for years to come.
