For As Long As I Can
$18.99Add to cartWhen the author’s father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, his son’s desire to record a few thoughts relative to that experience soon became an obsession to capture each precious moment. This is the story of a father’s last struggles, his one overarching request, and his son’s attempt to come to grips with his death. From the shock of learning of his father’s cancer to the struggle involved with being asked to conduct his funeral, this is ultimately a story of the triumph of the human spirit. But more than that, it is a story of the triumph of God’s grace as evidenced in the life of the author, his father, and his family. “Written as a journal, For as Long as I Can is a gentle interweaving of the human and spiritual experience, reminding us of the inseparable bond between child and parent. Caretakers of a terminally ill family member can be strengthened and encouraged as they relate to the day-to-day, hour-by-hour account of a son’s journey with his father through his final weeks on earth.” -Professor Bette T. Beane (Ph.D., Human Development and Family Studies) “Determined to draw strength and lucidity from every moment that remained, For as Long as I Can is a rich, touching, and detailed journey of a father’s last challenge with life on this side of eternity.” -J. Wayne Easlack (Ph.D., Behavioral Science) Director of Counseling for The Counseling Center Providence Place, High Point, NC (Nationally recognized seminar speaker and authority on anxiety disorders)
