Terminal illness, life-threatening disease or even the routine operations patients have to undergo all have one question in common: how do we overcome the challenge and grow spiritually through it all? We love being well and enjoying life, but in every life there comes a time when the certainties of tomorrow fade away in the anguish of today's reality. We get sick, face surgery and therapy and worry. Facing Surgery with Christ is the product of a cancer surgeon's experience with the spiritual needs of his patients.
