A cancer diagnosis changes everything.
Fear, uncertainty, and suffering become daily realities in the midst of cancer--not just for patients but also for families, friends, and caregivers. Where is God in this?
In God Meets Us in Our Suffering, three pastors who journeyed through cancer together share their deeply personal stories. With honesty, compassion, and humor, they offer theologically rich reflections on illness and hope. This book explores how
● we can navigate doubt and find strength in the theology of the cross;
● God meets us in suffering with grace and power;
● Psalm 23 guides us through uncertainty and suffering; and
● laughter, love, and community can sustain us in the darkest moments.
For those living with a serious illness and those journeying alongside them, this book offers comfort, courage, and a renewed trust in God's faithfulness.

"Beautiful, heartrending, hope-filled, laugh-out-loud funny"

"With luminous wisdom and wry humor, the authors reflect on faithfulness--divine and human--and reveal how, even in suffering, God meets us with unanticipated grace."
--Kate Bowler, Duke Divinity School; author of Everything Happens for a Reason
"A most heartfelt, honest, personal, practical, faithful, and funny book on how even human suffering can be a God-given opportunity to fall more deeply in love with God."
--Will Willimon, Duke Divinity School; United Methodist bishop, retired; author of Accidental Preacher: A Memoir
"Beautiful, heartrending, hope-filled, laugh-out-loud funny."
--Deanna A. Thompson, author of Glimpsing Resurrection: Cancer, Trauma, and Ministry
"This book will serve as a companion for anyone who has ever wondered where God is when life falls apart--and the answer, beautifully rendered here, is 'Right here with us.'''
