Journey into Day: Meditations for New Cancer Patients

Journey into Day: Meditations for New Cancer Patients by Freeman, Rusty. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780817013509.

Written by a pastor who himself had been diagnosed with cancer twice, this series of devotions follows a journey-like process from early diagnosis through treatment to post treatment. The devotions reflect real struggles, confusion, difficulties and doubts at various stages of the journey, and also provide encouragement and advice as given by one who has actually been through the experience. Using short one to two page devotion-style chapters, Freeman touches on familiar questions including "Why me?," "Where is God?, " "Why doesnt God heal me?," "Why does God let this happen?", and many others. He returned frequently to the book of Job and talked honestly about his battle against the disease, depression, the challenges to his faith and the spiritual growth gained as a result.
