He was careful not to breathe too deeply, for he feared that even his breath might
be heard. He aimed the point of his sword to his left, gently rested one of the flat
sides of the blade against the leather he had hung over his left arm, and lowered
the hilt to the floor. Now with his right hand free, he reached into a small pouch
that was tied to his hip and hung along the side of his loincloth. When he
removed his hand from the pouch, he held within his grasp two objects. One

My Walk Through the Valley is a traumatizing memoir recounting the unconventional upbringing and life journey of Lilith Coal. Her resilience is remarkable as she faces real life challenges and the unexpected hardships of cancer, death, genetic illness, suicide, the sex industry, rape, depression, and alcohol.

A diagnosis of a stage IV cancer is quite a jolt for any family. This is the news that came to Jeff Wisdom, a husband and father in his mid-forties. When the diagnosis of an advanced cancer comes to a family, it can challenge faith and hope. Through the Valley is a biblical-theological reflection on suffering. It details what Scripture says about suffering and what God has promised, both now and in the future. It draws comfort and encouragement from some lessons learned. And it acknowledges and wrestles with some unresolved questions and issues. Jeff's reflections, as one who has endured cancer and chemotherapy, help to bridge Scripture's message and the experience of living with a deadly disease. Excerpts from his wife's journal are included to provide a window into this walk in a dark valley. This book does not address every aspect of the Bible's teaching on suffering, but it makes an important contribution to the topic of the suffering that comes seemingly unexplained as the result of living in a fallen world.

When you think of the greatest tool the enemy uses against us, it truly is fear. The
Bible says, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and
of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV). Fear is one of the greatest distractions that
the enemy uses to keep us from doing the things we know God wants of us. How
does that tool of fear relate to finances? Well, I can only tell you what happened
to me. It goes back to watching my family struggle. It wasn't uncommon for us to ...
that the LORD would then manifest Himself to his soul, and lift up the light of His
countenance upon him, and dispel the shades of the dark valley: that He would
be close at hand, as his Guardian and his Guide. And therefore, in another place,
he saith, “The LoRD is my light “and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The “LORD
is the strength of my life; of whom “shall I be afraid?” In the conclusion of the text,
