This is Why We Write Books

There is something magical about connecting with a reader. I was reminded of that fact yesterday when, while going through some old files, I came across this handwritten letter from England. It was sent to me back in 2009 by a reader who was entranced by my book Finding God in the Shack.

I treasure every email I receive from a happy reader. But there’s something especially special about a letter, and handwritten, no less! Alas, this gentleman did not include my postal code on the address and as a result, it took about a year for the letter to arrive. But arrive it did. (Kudos to Canada Post.) And when it did, I was reminded again that this is why we write books.
