Just a few things people are saying
about Bill Williams’ journey to glorify God through gratitude detailed in
“Cancer Chronicles” are -
“…the book is a treasure to us.”
“truly inspiring…”
“Captivating. I couldn’t put it down.”
“This is one of the best collections
of thoughts and prayers that could have ever been assembled. I sat down and
read the whole thing. I've got to tell you that it made me smile the whole
way through because I got to personally see Bill Williams and Jan Williams in
action and knew that what I was reading was exactly what I had witnessed
firsthand. This book will be one of the most highly regarded in my
collection.”

“Cancer Chronicles was so
inspirational - a real tribute to a man who through his faith fought a courageous
battle with cancer. I was moved by Bill Williams' courage and the love and
dedication of his family for sharing his words with the world.”

“Several years ago, this friend of
mine -- Bill Williams -- was diagnosed with late-stage multiple myeloma while
in his early fifties. And then he contracted spinal meningitis and nearly died.
It might be natural to respond, ‘that's not fair -- no man that young should have
that many physical problems.’ The physical ills he endured did test his faith,
as he affirmed in an email he sent to his friends following his recovery from
the meningitis. Yet they also made him steadfast in his dependence on the Lord:
In “Cancer Chronicles” Bill said, “Thanks
to our Lord and Savor Jesus Christ we remain steadfast. We have kept our eyes
fixed on our Savor who is, the author and perfector of our faith (Hebrews
12:2); and have casts our burdens on our Heavenly Father and He has sustained
us (Psalms 55:22). We observe God's providential hand in all things, especially
our difficulties, and so we thank Him for the deepening of our faiths. Jan and
I believe that these illnesses are not random but designed for the good of His
children - count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various
kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness (James
1:1-2). All of my illnesses and recovery have produced increased steadfastness
and comfort. It has been difficult yet comforting. He makes us rest more and
more upon Him. We are thankful for all He brings our way because we benefit
long term."
I have recently reread all of his
letters, which all have a similar tone of trust and dependence on God. These
letters have been compiled into a new book along with some meditations and
discussion questions. I highly recommend this book. Rereading the book has
reminded me why I appreciated my friendship with Bill so much.”
