The book consists of a series of letters to God written by a former atheist who has recovered his faith and belief in God. The letters describe the journey from the author's religious childhood, a twenty-year life as an intransigent atheist, and then a slow and protracted decision to undo his atheism, heightened after much prayer— followed by a religious conversion. The book is a work in atonement, contrition, and redemption. It is aspirational in that the author prays for grace and for the strength to become the God-man he would like to become. It is a reflection on the emptiness and loneliness of living as an atheist, and the indescribable plentitude and joy in embracing the Lord as his Savior. There are several devotional prayers for people who are suffering various maladies in their lives, as well as theological and scriptural questions for God on the nature of his will, the nature of sin, forgiveness, grace, faith, and meaning in life.
