Produktbeschreibung

Receiving bad news is difficult for anyone, but to hear that you have a life-threatening disease that could alter your life forever, can be overwhelming. Janice Harris knew something was wrong when she found an unusual looking bump on her femur, but she was totally not expecting to hear the word "cancer". She had been a Born-Again Christian and minister for many years, and knew about faith and prayer. However, the news that she had cancer would challenge that faith in many ways. Although she had plans to work several more years before retiring, her life and career came to a halt. In Through the Fire, she tells her story of survival, and the miracle she received. She gives inspiration to anyone dealing with life's most difficult trials and circumstances. She also takes the reader through her journey of many emotions and struggles, and shows how she was determined to depend on her faith in God to bring her through it. Many people give up while facing tough situations. Others struggle to find answers as to why they are going through, become bitter and angry at God, and at life itself. In this story, you will be inspired to hold on despite what you are going through. In her book, she mentions people who she considers "cheerleaders," those who were physically present during her battle with cancer, but she understands she also could not have made it without many others such as her younger sisters, Geneva and Carla, who strengthened her with their frequent phone calls, prayer and spiritual encouragement. Through the Fire, will leave you with hope. It will inspire you to believe in the power of prayer. It will also encourage you to trust and have faith in God.
