Editorial Reviews
Review
Olmstead's memoir is framed by poignant confessions detailing her fight against cancer and growth in Christian faith along the way. That faith forms the bedrock, and her medical battles are framed against the backdrop of her expanding trust in God. Olmstead unmasks the ugly truth of cancer treatments, surgeries, and evaluations, alongside family rifts that give way to heartbreak in the midst, eliciting a painful reality that will strike emotional chords with both Christians and non-believers. Drawing comfort from her Bible, Olmstead focuses her energy on her relationship with God, contemplating her ability to weather the storm: "I wondered if He'd chosen the right warrior for this particular battle."

From the Back Cover
When Rebecca Olmstead began to ask God for more of Him, the last place she expected to find herself was Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. But answers to prayer rarely look like we expect.
Bedridden and helpless, Rebecca had no choice but to give God her undivided attention. Through surgeries, miracles, excruciating pain, and terrifying withdrawals, God began to reveal Himself to Rebecca, teaching her about His sovereignty, love, and grace. He would teach her how to hear His voice, speaking to her through dreams and the Holy Spirit. Most importantly, He would show Rebecca that He had a plan for her life, far beyond what she ever could have imagined--if she would only trust and obey.
If you've ever doubted God's love, or wondered if there could possibly be a purpose for your suffering, this book is for you. This is a testimony of God's transforming love. What He did for Rebecca, He will do for you!
