Talking with Toby: so hope can survive - based on a true story

What do you do when your ship's going down and you're feeling all alone? How do you keep your head above water, not to mention heal and grow?

"Talking with Toby" is a template for the healing power of faith and friendship that can enrich your life no matter who you are or what you're going through. Atkinson, a former pastor, reaches out to "Toby," a young man in prison, excerpts from their phone calls, visits, and letters creating an account that's both inspirational and challenging.

"It's easy to think we're in control of our lives, that we're always choosing what we do and who we do it with," Atkinson writes. "But sometimes things unfold in ways we never planned... It's then, suddenly, God gives us the chance to prove what we're made of, not just to the people around us but also to our very selves."

Welcome to "Talking with Toby." Your conversations may never be the same once you've been a part of this one...

30% of all profits go to the Hope Survives Fund to benefit faith based programs for at-risk youth.
