This book is the true story of how God brought together three diverse individuals into one small community: a husband with no church background; his wife, just diagnosed with incurable cancer; and a United Methodist pastor in her first parish. This book is a reflection of five years of God's presence in three lives as each of them faced the question of where God is in tragedy. In the midst of sorrow, they learned the truth offered by the Psalmist in chapter 46, verse 1: 'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.' This book will be of particular interest to those seeking God's presence and, especially to those who are grieving, God's comfort. It is a testament to God's faithfulness and offers hope to those who need assurance that God is with them through their struggles--and He is a 'very present help' at every crossroad in our spiritual journeys.
