Synopsis
Tom Brokaw of NBC Nightly News once said of the American icon Fred Rogers, 'Mister Rogers was an ordained minister, but he never talked about God on his program. He didn't need to.'
Eight years before his death, Fred Rogers met author, educator, and speaker Amy Hollingsworth. 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. Educator? Philosopher? Psychologist? Minister? Here is an intimate portrait of the real Mister Rogers.
The Simple Faith of Mr. Rogers focuses on Mr. Rogers' spiritual legacy, but it is much more than that. It shows us a man who, to paraphrase the words of St. Francis of Assisi, 'preached the gospel at all times; when necessary he used words.'
Reviews
The finest inspirational reading ever! There was always something special about Mister Rogers that drew me to watch everyday - He didn't have a fancy set, and his shows were not flashy... it was the simplicity of it all...his gentle nature that drew me into the neighborhood. I could not put the book down and have purchased my own copy. There is so much to learn from the simple faith of Mister Rogers!!!!!
