Praising God in the Valley


Book Description

Joyce Herr started a new chapter in her life in March of 2017 when she was diagnosed with cancer. At times, this experience led her through some deep valleys with dark and threatening shadows. She found herself in need of courage and a source of strength beyond her own to be able to press on. In Praising God in the Valley, Herr shares her story telling about the challenges she faced, the hope and peace God gave her, the many lessons God taught her through cancer that ultimately enriched her life, and other unexpected blessings of the journey. Praising God in the Valley helps you realize how God can use cancer and other adversity to bless you and prepare you to be an ambassador for Him, to bear witness of His love and sustaining strength in your trials in a world that asks: “What difference does it make to be a Christian?” “If God is so good, why do bad things happen to good people?”; and “How can I know for sure I’m going to heaven when I die?” Herr insists that when you discover the courage, strength, peace, and hope God provides, you, too, will be able to praise God in the valley.




Aboard God's Train: A Journey with God Through the Valley of Cancer


Book Description

What is a woman supposed to do when her world is turned upside down by a medical diagnosis? How will she get through the stress of all the medical appointments, surgery and follow-up therapies? How will she deal with telling her family, friends, and co-workers? How will she cope with the stigma of having cancer? The shame of losing a breast? These are the questions that went through my mind at my doctor's ominous proclamation: "You have breast cancer." It's true that I had something that most women who must walk this road do not have: I had a promise. But would it be enough? Or would this trial prove to be more than my shaky faith could handle? As I was fumbling with these questions, God took me on a whirlwind tour of France, bringing me face to face with the stresses of trying to navigate my way through a foreign country in a foreign car. I came away realizing that it is much better to take the train and let someone else drive! But does that "train" also run through the valley of breast cancer?

Notes from the Valley


Book Description

At 2:58 PM on July 14, 2009, Andy McQuitty entered the valley of the shadow of death. “Andy,” his doctor said, “you have a massive tumor that has broken through the wall of your colon. It’s cancer. It’s serious. Get in here now.” Hearing you have cancer does more than warn you of death. It displaces you emotionally and spiritually, as it did for Andy and the roughly 1.7 million cancer patients diagnosed in America annually. Notes from the Valley gives you a window into their experience. In the persona of a travel writer sending notes back from the desert, Andy recounts his journey through stage IV cancer, in which he discovered what King David did in his own valley: that in suffering, God’s presence isn’t diminished, but magnified. Written with humor and sensitivity, Notes from the Valley is for anyone on this journey or traveling alongside a loved one who is. It provides words of wisdom, comfort as it addresses questions like: "Why did I get cancer?" "Does God still love me?" "Can I tell Him how I really feel?" "Is it possible to suffer well?" "Can any good come of this?"
