"Strength Renewed" consists of 90 devotions which follow Shirley Corder's cancer journey chronologically, but they can be read in any order as each one stands alone. Shirley's upbeat personality, laced with her lovely sense of humour, shines through this beautifully written book. She comes alongside her readers as she chats with honesty and transparency about the roller coaster ride of having cancer, her treatment, recovery and personal relationships. Her faith in God is evident throughout the book.
The meditations can be read on several
different levels. Whether you want encouragment from the Bible, down-to-earth
tips, words of hope, a short prayer or a connection with someone who really
knows what the cancer valley is like because they've been there, you'll find it
in this book. Shirley has included three questions in each devotion for those
who wish to explore the cancer journey in more depth.
Shirley's prayer in the introduction is
that "this book will strengthen your faith." My brush with cancer was
many years ago, but I found much in "Strength Renewed" to strengthen
my faith today.
I strongly recommend "Strength
Renewed". It's an outstanding resource for anyone with cancer and for
their companions on the journey through the cancer valley.
