Professor William Berrit's life is safe, comfortable, and sheltered from inconvenient convictions until he uncovers a venerated treasure long-preserved in a dusty attic-a letter written in the first century of Christianity by a distant ancestor recounting how faith in God saved the Berrit family from destruction and showed them the way of truth. With each soul-stirring chapter, William learns more about God's amazing intervention in the lives of his ancient family, providing light and love despite the darkness surrounding them. His own religious-life uninspired and uncertain, William's beliefs and principles are tested, and he soon finds himself in the middle of intellectual doubt and personal danger, all because of The Letter of Alon.
