Review
"Richard Cheu's Living Well With Chronic Illness: A Practical and Spiritual Guide, explores the emotional paths of those thus diagnosed and helps articulate specific methods and strategies to improve their quality of life even if the quantity is decreased. His ideas are tangible and practical. As a caretaker of his wife suffering with chronic illness, a medical professional, and a chaplain who has counseled thousands, he possesses the trifecta of relevant experience -- the personal, medical, and spiritual."
