About this ebook
The central figure in this book is the triune God God the Father, Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit. Throughout my journey with cancer God was with me and in control of events.
First diagnosed in September 2016 following a bout of jaundice, the whole process culminated in a six-month course of chemotherapy at the end of which I was declared cancer free. Guided by the Holy Spirit as I share my journey, I was prompted to explain my basic Christian beliefs in the context of my illness. These short essays at the end of each chapter helped me anchor my faith in a loving and compassionate God.
