I hope the start of this New Year is going well
for all of you. Lately, I’ve received some very unexpected feedback from people
who didn’t know my dad but read “Cancer
Chronicles: One Man’s Journey to Glorify God Through Illness.” It applies to
anyone going through trials, and the following reviews are uplifting and
praises to God.
“I never had the opportunity to meet ‘my brother’,
Bill Williams; though we do have several things in common. Bill lost his fight
with an incurable disease, and I am losing mine. Bill had cancer; I have ALS.
And both of us agree with Jim Edwards, who said: “He is no fool who gives what
he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.” I found it very encouraging to
read Cancer Chronicles, Bill’s journey with cancer. The pain is not lessened,
the sadness and hurt is real, but so are the joy, the contentment, and the
peace of mind that Bill had, knowing that he was going home. Highly recommended
for everyone, not just the suffering.”

“When
I first began reading the book, I didn’t know anything about Bill Williams
other than the legacy of a life lived for the Lord. It only took the completion
of one letter to be mesmerized by his testimony. The entire book is
composed in such a way that makes you feel connected to this man’s journey in
faith. This Christian Brother’s account of his suffering on earth leaves
the rest of us challenged to live out our lives in a way that honors and
glorifies the Lord. Reading about his experience on these pages
illustrated for me what it looks like for a man who purely loves his God to
turn a time of trouble and trial into an opportunity for great joy (James
1:2).”

“Looking back at the emotional suffering we
experienced with the death of our beloved son-in-law to cancer, had we had this
book, our pain could have been replaced with understanding of God’s plan for
all of us. It’s truly inspirational.”
Gloria Martin, Acton, Texas
“What a wonderful testimony to God's love and power.
I enjoyed reading this book, and even more reflecting on the questions and the
scripture following and within each chapter. Listening to what God is telling
me through this book makes my love grow stronger. God is present with us in the
every day events of our lives. This book gives examples of his presence and
enduring love through any circumstance. Thank you for showing us that the time
here on earth is limited, and to spend it wisely. God bless you!”

My gratitude to the Lord for
His hand in this passion project and to the people who took the time to write is
enormous. So far I’ve had the privilege of giving out my dad’s testimony and am
enjoying the excuse to reach out to people. I’m confident it will end up in the
hands of those in need of encouragement and inspiration.
Praise God for giving us
pain and trials that He uses to teach us, reveal the darkness in our hearts,
and make us more like His perfect Son. I’ve found that the greatest miracles in
life sometimes come disguised as things perceived to be horrible at the time.
They end up being the most profound blessings and lessons if I trust in God and
ask Him what he wants to teach me as He walks with me through it.
Thank you all for taking
the time to read “Cancer Chronicles” and passing it on. If you feel led to
submit a review on www.amazon.com, just
search the words: Cancer Chronicles Bill Williams. Scroll down because there
are several books by the same name. I also plan to keep collecting
testimonials. Feel free to email me any time at: melwrenbrown@gmail.com.
