From platinum-selling singer Mark Schultz comes a novel inspired by his award-winning hit song “Letters from Home,” about a mother’s unwavering hope and steadfast prayers for her son to return from war.

Mother and son have been writing since boot camp. James writes of his struggle to become a confident soldier and of his concern for his young wife and their unborn child. Beth, like any mom, praises her son’s courage even as she frets for his safety.
Even after James disappears, Beth is comforted by a daily ritual of writing him about her feelings, faith, and attempts to maintain a normal life when nothing is really normal but the waiting.
Based on platinum-selling singer Mark Schultz’s hit song “Letters from War,” this emotionally powerful and timely story reveals how faith sustains in even the darkest of circumstances.

Prologue
THE LAST LETTER
The soldier wrestles to write words he knows will be his last.
He searches his heart, trying to find what he wants to say. After so many letters, this one needs to count.
This one needs to last.
There is no one definitive sentence or theme he needs to write. Yet he wants his family to know that he will always be there, that he will always love them.
Just because he is gone doesn’t mean he has left them.
There is so much he wants to say. Things to share. About the places he’s seen, the journey he’s been on, the road he’s headed toward. The pride in his heart for serving his country.
He knows the world is full of bad places filled with bad men. He remembers his father telling him that. He remembers that was one of the reasons he decided to join the army.
Yet even in a world like this, there is hope. Hope is not confined to Tennessee or the United States of America. Hope can be found in the darkest of spots, in the prisons of people’s souls.
He thinks of her face and smiles.
He loves her and wants the best for her. He can only imagine how many times she’s prayed for his safety, a safety that won’t hold.
Maybe God one day will tell her the reasons why.
Maybe God will fill her with renewed hope once he’s gone.
He starts writing.
In a world full of endless rhetoric, he tries to convey a simple and eloquent truth.
I’m not writing to say good-bye. I’m writing to make a promise.
So he does.
