Light in the Shadows: Meditations While Living with a Life-Threatening Illness

by Hank Dunn

"Light in the Shadows" is written for people who are struggling with a life-threatening illness. In 20 brief selections Chaplain Hank Dunn covers some of the most important lessons for people who find themselves in these difficult situations. A sampling of the meditation titles reveal the thrust of the book: "Choosing My Response," "Giving Up and Letting Go," "Between Hope and Reality," "Quality not Quantity," and "Modern Medicine and 'the Enemy.'" This book is about finding hope in hopeless situations; being grateful in the midst of great losses; experiencing a connection to things eternal; living a meaningful life while considering the possibility of death; and getting to the root issues in medical treatment decisions.
