Have you ever experienced something so profound that you simply cannot keep it to yourself? I have - and it has to do with how real, powerful, practical, and beautiful God’s grace is. So, I wrote two books to describe my experiences and help more people understand this grace. Check out the brief descriptions below.

“I love you and I’m proud of you.” I couldn’t believe these words were coming out of my mouth, given the circumstances. My wife of over 22 years (actually, her lawyer) had destroyed me the day before in court during an initial divorce proceeding, and she had just moved our 13-year-old daughter and half of our belongings into her new apartment. Strangely enough, I was standing with her in her new apartment’s bedroom, just after the movers had left, when I uttered these words. They certainly aren’t the words you typically hear in divorce situations. What happened the next day—Mother’s Day 2008—was far more unusual, sparking a remarkable ten-year journey during which I would discover the realness, power, practicality, and beauty of God’s grace.
The previous text is the opening paragraph to Monumental Hug, a book about the power of God's grace to heal even the most damaged relationships. It tells the story of the restoration of my relationship with my ex-wife over ten years of divorce and my walk with her as she battled one of the most deadly forms of cancer.

Are you or someone you know fighting a life-threatening illness? Have you been looking for answers that go beyond conventional medicine? Has someone’s illness driven you more deeply into your faith or caused you to begin questioning your beliefs? Do you want a more complete understanding of what the Bible says about healing, health, and wellness? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’ll find this book of particular interest. It contains the results of my in-depth study of healing in the Bible that I undertook while walking alongside my ex-wife as she battled pancreatic cancer. This includes a one-of-a-kind data analysis of all of the healing accounts in the Scriptures. It also examines questions like, does God want Christians to be healthy, why are so many people sick, what factors produced healing in Biblical healing accounts, and what does the Biblical model of health, wellness, and healing look like. Join me as I dive into the deep end of the Bible’s healing pool.
