Living and Loving Through and Past Cancer

A Spouse's Perspective

The wedding went off without a hitch, everyone partied, and our life together had officially started. The following day we were off to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We were in Maui, one of my favorite Hawaiian islands. I had been here many times before and was enjoying showing Monica around this beautiful island and doing the touristy things people do when in Hawaii. One morning, while she was showering, she felt a lump on one of her breasts. What would you do if you had only been married for a few days and found out that your wife had breast cancer? When his wife, Monica, found a lump on her breast while on their honeymoon in Maui, Steven was forced to ask himself that question. But for him, the answer was simple; he was going to stay by the side of the woman that he loved, show her love and affection every day, and support her in their fight against breast cancer. Monica lost both of her breasts. She underwent chemotherapy. She lost her hair. She struggled with the disease physically and mentally. But through it all, Steven loved and supported her unconditionally. Living and Loving Through and Past Cancer: A Spouse's Perspective is about more than just Steven and Monica's fifteen year battle against cancer; it is a inspiring story of unconditional love in which Steven shares his heart and soul. Living and Loving Through and Past Cancer gives readers insight into not only the trials and tribulations that Steven and Monica endured, but it also reveals how their love and relationship grew stronger in spite of cancer.

A View from the Valley

Gut-wrenching and profound in its depiction of flawed humanity, it forces us to turn our souls inside out and examine who we are ourselves. It offers an intimate glimpse into the writer's struggle against a system of injustices which the writer philosophically, intellectually and sometimes physically, rejects. It is a story that will touch the heart of the reader, and doubtless, as the writer hopes, 'find a refuge in your spirit.' It nudges us to employ the better angels of our nature while calling us to a higher place.

Or I might ask, “What view of myself is registering with her that could cause her to
respond to me so untruthfully? Why is she not honest? God, help me to be.
Perhaps there are many reasons why we are unable to reveal our true selves to
others. Among them are: fear of lack of acceptance, loss of human value or
prestige, fear of rejection, or awareness of our weaknesses. These are all natural
phenomena of the human condition, and I believe that most of us, if not all of us,

Grady Mccracken and the Valley of the Chiefs

A Novel

In a fallen world, where bad things happen to good people, Grady McCracken is chosen to set things right... The Hankotchetejas nation has been under the power of a foul smelling, mind-numbing potion and enslaved by Charon, their evil chief, since the loss of the sacred seeds many years ago. The Great Father has promised the restoration of justice, peace, and the righting of all evils with the return of his good son, Anomon. But before good Chief Anomon can come to power and depose his evil brother, the sacred seeds must be recovered and the people in the Valley of the Chiefs must be liberated from the evil power that binds them. A mild mannered and gentle schoolteacher, Grady McCracken, is chosen by a miniature Indian chief to travel with him into the mountains of Colorado to find the seeds, free the captives, and restore the Valley of the Chiefs to its rightful owners. In their quest for the seeds, Grady McCracken and the Chief face constant perils from the Farmundos, Charon's dangerous army. In addition, Grady's quest leads him on a path of self-discovery and spiritual evolution that will forever leave him changed. As delightfully entertaining as it is thought-provoking, Grady McCracken and the Valley of the Chiefs offers a modern day allegory that readers of all ages and backgrounds can appreciate.

The Great Father will restore Anomon, his good son, who will become your chief,
and he will bring you back to this valley, the Valley of the Chiefs. It will no longer
be a valley of darkness. It will come back to life. The ground will produce for your
sake, and the skies will be pure and clear. You will no longer need to fear the
Farmundos. Charon will be defeated. You will unite with brothers from other

and join ...

Visionary Living

A Guide for God's People

It's time for a revival, and it starts with you. Visionary Living: A Guide for God's People, by Reverend Gary Hamer, explains to pastors and their people the extreme importance of spending quality time alone with God in order to serve the Body of Christ. God is looking for the glorious church, and what He sees is a grotesque figure that is missing many parts unable to function as it should. If we come together, understanding that we are all working to serve God, we can make a difference. As that difference is made, we will begin to travel the pathway our Heavenly Father desires. The time for lip service is past. It is time for true relationship with God. It is time to become the leaders God has called us to be.
