What God Gives When Life Takes

Crisis. At some time in life it visits every household: unemployment, illness, death, alcoholism, depression--it has many faces. And when an unexpected problem strikes, how does a family respond? Where do we turn? WHAT GOD GIVES WHEN LIFE TAKES chronicles a family in the midst of such a crisis. But, it's much more than just drama. Becki Conway Sanders and her parents, well-known authors Jim and Sandy Conway, offer you an inside look at how their family worked through the anguish of Becki's losing her leg to cancer at age 16. Just as no 2 people respond to a crisis alike, in this book we find 3 very different reactions to the trauma this family faced. In alternating chapters you'll read how Becki, Sally and Jim coped with the crisis from the beginning shock to resolution. Anger, acceptance, fear, shock, humor, deeper faith in God and even rejection of God--all these coursed through the life of this family. In this book you'll find: a gripping and inspiring story; encouragement to pick up the pieces of your life and keep going; an example of how to cope with a crisis in your family; how God draws closer to us in our suffering; and how you can help other people in crisis. In WHAT GOD GIVES WHEN LIFE TAKES we come face to face with what it means to worship a loving God while suffering deep pain.
