What started as a television interview turned into a wonderful friendship spanning dozens of letters detailing the driving force behind this gentle man of extraordinary influence.This special book is a treat for fans everywhere, containing:An intimate portrait of the real Mister RogersAn exploration of the beloved star's deep faith journey and its lasting impactPersonal interviews and lettersThe Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers focuses on Mr. Rogers' spiritual legacy, but it is much more than that.
