Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of One Thousand Gifts Losing myself in the startling light of Kara’s story, I have found who I am, who He is, and more of the meaning of every breath.
Look intentionally at your own story today? Could you use encouragement to live near to Jesus? If that is a longing of your heart, I invite you to join me on this hard journey of looking, naming, meeting Jesus when the story is written in His beautiful sovereignty. I am simply the teller and namer of the grace. The pages are an accounting of the faithfulness of the Author of life.
In the brokenness of our unmet expectations of life, will we look for Jesus and His abundant love? Or will we tumble into bitterness and anger that leave us utterly self focused and disappointed by the hard in our story each of us are asked to receive. It is a book written to appeal to us all as we meet the bitter edges of life on this side of eternity. This is not simply my story and journey with cancer. I often fail, I’m often found in weakness and brokenness, but through it all I am met- always met in love. The writing of this book caused me to look at my story and seek the grace to walk this hard path with cancer. The writing of this book helped me through the diagnosis of cancer finding more and more corners in my body: my brain, my bones, my liver, my lymph system. Writing The Hardest Peace proved to be a gift to write. We all felt strongly that we could partner to write this book. There was a hesitancy from all of us if I would have the strength, the ability, the days to write the book. I will not forget the the meeting when the team from DCC sat with Jason and I and began to dream the telling of this story- the naming of grace in the midst of suffering. David C Cook approached me to write this manuscript soon after I was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer.
