Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James H. Wiley was born in Natchez, Mississippi, into a rather large family gripped by searing poverty. As the youngest child and very much aware of the paralyzing effects poverty had on his ability to forge a meaningful life, James was provided a ray of hope when he received several academic scholarships to various colleges and universities. James entered Jackson State College on one of those scholarships and graduated with a degree in chemistry. A Vietnam veteran, James returned from that conflict in early 1969 and married his fiancee, Dean Smith. They moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where James had earlier taken a position as a chemist with the DuPont Corporation. Colon cancer invaded James' life in March of 1980, with a corresponding metastasis to the liver. Dean was informed her husband of eleven years had a life expectancy of perhaps six months. This book encapsulates James' innermost thoughts and emotions about the gripping consequences and terrifying images of cancer's incessant drive to destroy, the singular pain and guilt about not taking decisive action to catch the disease in its earliest stages, resulting in an unnecessary malignancy and uncertain future. This story speaks to James' rediscovery of his faith and how a loving God interceded to provide a miraculous cure.
