Review:

"Into each life some rain must fall" is a lesson of life. Chapman recounts the stories of himself and his patients as they confront the "rain" of serious and terminal illness. These homily stories offer insight, encouragement, faith and peace to those who may find themselves in similar straits. -- Ministry & Liturgy, Volume 26, No. 1
