Amazing Faith A Walk With Cancer

by Paul Paris

This novel is more, much more, than a testimony about faith. This novel
is actually three novels skillfully woven together. One strand gives the
reader a picture of Paul's wife and her determination to live life to the fullest in spite of her cancer and the treatments to kill it. A second
strand reveals the author's feelings of frustration, helplessness, love,

and admiration as he fills the role of supporter during the couple's journey through the tangle of treatments, insurance forms, and side
effects of medications. A third strand discloses Paul and his wife's
unshakable foundation of Christian faith and how it comforts and
strengthens them at this low point in their lives.

Amazing Faith A Walk With Cancer is an inspirational read that changes the reader's perspective of life.

Anna's Healing

I have just finished reading Anna's Healing by Vannetta Chapman

and can recommend it to anyone interested in an inspiring novel that strengthens their own Christian faith. Anna is a young Amish woman who isn't interested in the traditional Amish roll of marriage. Restless for something new, she moves to an Oklahoma Amish farming community and lives with her aunt and uncle and a wise grandmother.

An accident leaves Anna crippled. The accident changes not only Anna's life but the lives of everyone in the family as well as that of a young Amish man with a strong urge to travel across country.

I first read about Anna's Healing and the author Vannetta Chapman on James Callan's blog http://www.jamesrcallan.com/blog/ Ms. Chapman shares several interesting facts about her writing and her latest novel Anna's Healing. I found the novel a great read.
