Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When Pete Willis was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2008 you might have forgiven him if he had simply rolled over and accepted his fate. The fact that he didn't, and is still around today and looking forward to a full life, he puts down to one thing. God. Blessed with a loving wife, family and friends, Pete now displays an amazing zest for life and faces each day with a positivity which he now shares in this wonderfully uplifting and inspiring book. In it, Pete tells us how God taught him about faith through the adversity he faced with his illness and how that faith has helped him to thrive under the most anxious of times. So join him on his journey, as he shares his true story which illustrates the power, mercy, glory and grace of an ever present God who still performs miracles on Earth today.
