Facade: Musings On Living Life And Coping With Death

Some of the most important truths in life can be revealed to us in moments of deep sorrow. In FACADE, Bill Wade shares his personal struggle with faith during the long illness and death of his son, John. A remarkable work of beauty, FACADE speaks to those who have suffered great loss or questioned God's will or existence. This is a touching book that speaks to the heart of grief. Bill's youngest child, John, succumbed to cystic fibrosis at the age of fifteen. John's mother, Noel, and older brother, Galen, give voice to the sorrow and melancholy felt by anyone who has ever lost a loved one. The loss of a child is especially painful because life insists that we continue on, that we age and create new memories without that child. The Wade family does not hide from this, but finds a path that leads beyond the pain to the calmer place where God's healing grace awaits. It is a powerful book that offers hope and comfort to all who read it. All net proceeds from the sale of FACADE go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
