Cancer's Seeming Madness: God's Story Lloyd Austin Phillips

Cancer's Seeming Madness is about David, a forty-three-year-old agnostic son who during his cancerous terminal illness as he was searching for truth, described his bewilderment as 'seeming madness'. This book will help persons confronted with the mystery of suffering and death, especially when the issues are personified as they impinge on their own lives, or on the lives of ones loved. The book is unique in its focus on moments of humor and deep interpersonal relationships. David's own words and actions mollify somewhat the vivid portrayal of his search for truth and meaning. Is there a God who speaks to us through the natural world and circumstances rarely identified with spiritual truth? Does the old word providence often associated with Biblical belief have any meaningful place in a world where science and technology seem to reign supreme? Can we see the face of God in art and feel a divine presence in human relationships? You'll likely be surprised by the answers that David and those close to him found as they caught a glimpse of the Spirit at work through their tears and laughter. Perhaps as you read Cancer's Seeming Madness, the mystery of life will begin to open like a flower in spring, and you will see the colors of peace, purpose and hop as signs of God's presence nurtured by insights in this intriguing book that the author dares call, God's Story.
