Synopsis

Perhaps because cancer is such a feared disease, it is difficult to believe that one can live with cancer and yet maintain an aura of peace and grace. Yet that is just what Robert Stewart demonstrates in this deeply moving memoir.

He shares his journey with cancer and insights that have sustained him, as shaped by the experience and vision of Francis of Assisi. Although each of our journeys is unique, Stewart demonstrates how Francis' vision might be helpful to others who struggle to find peace or to name the experience of grace amidst the journey with cancer.

Anyone who struggles with cancer or other diseases, as well as those who love them, care for them or minister to them, will be inspired and uplifted by Stewart's honesty, joy and faith.
