Inspiring Lessons Learned from People Living with Cancer
"Bernie Siegel is one of the greatest healers of our time. The stories he shares in Faith, Hope, and Healing demonstrate the healing effect of treating cancer not just with conventional medicine but by changing the way you think about your disease, the way you act toward those who love and care for you, and the way you feel about yourself. The mind is the most powerful tool you have for fighting back."
-Deepak Chopra, author of Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment

God Handed Me a GiftAngela Passidomo Trafford
How many times do I have to have cancer?! I stood in the center of my living room with the phone receiver still dangling in my hand and raged against God at the total unfairness and tragedy of my life. I'd just received two phone calls within minutes of each other. The first coldly informed me that, after years of international courtroom battles with my first husband, I'd lost custody of my three beloved boys.

I realized in a moment of truth, though, that threatening suicide was yet another attempt to manipulate God to my own ends.
