About this ebook
Cancer confronts us with our mortality. But cancer survivors find ourselves with a second chance for life. We grapple with profound questions: Why am I still here? How did I survive when others didn't? Where is God in all this? And how should I live differently now?Those who experience and survive cancer live in bonus time, a season of grace that can be both disorienting and wonderful.
