This is a testimonial story of a Christian pastor who discovers that he has an inoperable tumour in his lung, and that his condition is terminal, he falls into despair and then reflects on the title a hope beyond cure. His faith and hope in Jesus Christ.
At its heart and at its core this is a theological book, and an evangelistic book. This book is written with people who have no experience of church in mind, and is written more about the hope in Christ than in the intimate details of life with cancer.
In fact, the testimonial side is really a peripheral issue, and more of a springboard to get to the main point of putting your hope not in anything in this world, but in Jesus.
The book is well written, and because of the above certainly passes the tapestry test. If you pulled the 'thread' of God and theology from this book you would have no book left.
It would have been nice to see some more detail on the events of what happened, but the authors focus clearly is not on himself, it is not about disease or healing, but putting your hope in the true source of hope Jesus,
It is a a quick read, at 90 pages in paperback, and can be knocked off in a short time. The book was given to me as a gift and I shall now pass it on.
