The Perfection of Hope: A Soul Transformed by Critical Illness - Hardcover
Nominated for the BC Book Prize
The Perfection of Hope is only incidentally about disease; its theme is the soul's transformation brought about by an encounter with critical illness and a return to health. Its subject is not only the dreadful challenge of cancer, but the triumph of optimism and the moral need to live life to the fullest.
