Editorial Reviews

Review

My search is over for the one book to give to someone battling cancer. This material is exceptional - the most helpful I have read on this subject. --Pastor Alistair Begg

One of the hallmarks of 'My God Is True!' that makes it stand apart, is not only the engaging modesty with which the story is told, but the framework within which it has been written - a deep sense of the undergirding sovereignty and grace of God, his faithfulness, and his wisdom - a recognition that his ways are higher, deeper, and wiser than ours. While this is the story of a young man's pain, his struggles, his journey through a valley of deep darkness, it is also a story of love - Paul's love for Christ, his shared love with his wife Christy and their family circle. It is a testimony to what it means to belong to the living fellowship of Christ's people, the church. --Dr. Sinclair Ferguson

Although this book has specific applicability for anyone facing cancer I think it would be helpful for anyone having or helping someone dealing with a serious illness. I have been treated for prostate cancer and although my prognosis is good I have been confronted with almost exactly the same questions that Paul Wolfe addresses so well.

This review is from: My God Is True! Lessons Learned Along Cancer's Dark Road (Paperback)

In this limited autobiography, Paul Wolfe describes a period in his life, his first year of marriage and in the process if finishing seminary training for a ministerial position, when a diagnosis of cancer interrupts his plans. From the onset Wolfe acknowledges the complete soverignity of God. He knows that God has a plan and goal for all His Christian children.

During the year following the onset of cancer, God will increase Wolfe's faith and devotion to God and will teach him to trust completely in God. Mr Wolfe's test of faith prepares him for his next step in service to God as Associate Pastor of New Hope Presbyterian Church in Fairfax, Virginia.

This read will certainly increase the reader's ability to trust God to handle whatever test or trial may be occur as one's life unfolds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful and Worthwhile, May 22, 2010

By 

Robin Debson "Robin Debson" (Richmond, VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My God Is True! Lessons Learned Along Cancer's Dark Road (Paperback)

This book deals with the deeper, spiritual issues relating to trials, in general, and cancer specifically. Wolf deals with questions such as, "Is it God's will for me to have cancer?" But because the book is written as a memoir, it has the life-story dimension to keep it from being doctrinally dull. Although the topic is serious and Wolf does not shy away from the struggle the overall tenor is more hopeful than depressing.
