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

"Light in the Shadows" is written for people who are struggling with a life-threatening illness. In 26 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," "Idol of Control," 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.
