Help! I Have Breast Cancer

The sense of shock at receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer is very real. Once the shock wears off, your mind seems to explode with questions. Am I going to need chemotherapy and radiation? Am I going to be disfigured by a surgical procedure? Who will take care of my family while I’m ill? Am I going to die? Is God punishing me? This honest account of a personal battle with breast cancer gently helps you to confront your fears, doubts, and worries, and points you toward the solid hope that is in Jesus Christ, who alone can provide peace and strength to face the future.

Frields' small book is one of the best resources I know on the subject. Firstly Frields' work is Biblically sound. The gospel is clearly affirmed as the primary hope for sufferers and explained in detail (meaning this book could be given to a suffering non-Christian). It also provides an excellent list of thirteen Scriptural reasons why suffering is a gift from the sovereign Lord. Secondly the book is from someone highly qualified to speak on the subject. Frields has experienced the suffering of cancer and speaks honestly of her experience and the heart searching that it brought. Hence, a whole chapter is dedicated to the common question among sufferers, 'Is God punishing me?' Thirdly, the book is easy to read and short. Although some sufferers may be ready to delve into heavy, long works on suffering, from my experience the suffering itself may keep people from having the stamina to read such books. Whereas Frields' book is readily accessible. Joel Radford
