Letters sent home play a
key part in telling Hunt's story in:
Through the Water and the Fire
"When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you.
And when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through fire,
...the flames will not set you ablaze. 
For I am the Lord your God... your Savior..."
- Isaiah 43:2-3a NIV
