Several years ago, ten to be precise, my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. As with most diagnoses of this magnitude, we went into a kind of crisis mode of both action and panic. My memory of those days were ones of a blur. We twirled around trying to find answers and treatments and yet what we needed was a space of calm serenity. In the midst of all the chaos, we started receiving cards and books from friends and family. Among the gifts was this book. (I know it arrived at the time because some paperwork that fell out of the book when I recently opened it had options for prostate cancer treatments) I'm not sure who gave it to us, but I think it was my brother-in-law and his wife. I'm sure I glanced through it when it arrived but apparently I never read it until now. I wish I had because I'm sure it would have provided some much needed calm assurances at the time.
But here I am ten years later, with my husband working upstairs and healthy, finding those calm assurances that I needed then the same that I need now. With COVID cases raging and people unwilling to help out by wearing masks or getting the vaccine so many of my lifelines have been diminished. Yet God reminds me that he is here, he's always been here, and he's got this. Some of the last few lines of the book is such a comfort in times like this: "Man was originally created in God's image -- that is why even those who don't acknowledge God are capable of doing good. But as a result of the fall, man is prone to commit evil... one day God's image will no longer be marred by man's image. On that day we will once again be as God originally intended for us to be. We will be in his image, free from all trace of sin."
