Living in Bonus Time – Surviving Cancer, Finding New Purpose
Inter-Varsity Press,US (Verlag)
978-0-8308-4594-1 (ISBN)
Those who experience and survive cancer live in bonus time, a season of grace that can be both disorienting and wonderful. In this honest and hopeful account, two-time survivor Alec Hill helps readers recalibrate expectations, grapple with survivor's guilt, and steward the opportunities for new purpose and growth. As counterintuitive as it may seem, cancer can transform us emotionally and spiritually into better people.
We are not the people we were before. Survivors and caregivers can discover how encountering death can bring us to a different kind of life.
