Finding the Light in Cancer's Shadow: Hope, Humor and Healing after Treatment
My second book will be released by Tyndale House Feb. 1. It is written for survivors (and their loved ones) who have finished their initial cancer treatment (surgery, chemo and/or radiation) and are now living in cancer's "shadow." Its message also will speak to those who are living with chronic cancers and therefore always under cancer's shadow. Each chapter answers a question posed by cancer survivors and the answers are illustrated through true stories and humor. You can read a different excerpt each month under my column "Word to the Weary." (view excerpt)
Some of the chapters include:

The book is similar to When God & Cancer Meet in that is filled with true stories of hope and healing, but it's also different in that each chapter has two or three patient stories instead of just one long story. Also, more humor is sprinkled throughout the book and the book probably won't make you quite as "teary" as the first! Still, I believe you'll feel God's powerful touch and continue to believe that He can meet you at your deepest need.
The book retails for $13.99 and is available at both religious an secular stores as well as on-line at many sites including www.tyndale.com, www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com.
When God & Cancer Meet is a book of powerful stories about cancer patients and their families who have been touched by God in miraculous ways. Sometimes God took the cancer out of them and sometimes He took them out of the cancer. But always, always He touched them with His divine love and met their deepest needs.
You can believe their stories because they have been there.
You can believe me because I have been there.
You can believe God because He promises He will be there.
This is a realistic book. It's real because it admits that some people get cured of cancer and some don't. It's real because it acknowledges there are no easy answers to the unfairness of life. It's real because it doesn't pretend that your faith in God will keep hard times away.
But it's also real because it shows real people trusting in a real God in real life, who found real joy, real peace, real hope, real strength and real encouragement.
It's real because it shows what can happen when God and cancer meet.
If you don't want to be defeated by cancer—no matter what it does or has done to your loved one, this is a book for you.
