Overview

"At the age of fifty-four, Adrian Adger--church minister in the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and recently married--discovered he had inoperable, incurable cancer. He was full of questions: Why me? Is God punishing me? Is my life effectively over? Should I pray for healing? Will I ever know joy again? By sharing his journey with us, Adrian explains the extraordinary difference that Jesus Christ has made to him as he faces a bleak diagnosis. Although Adrian is facing cancer, he is 'standing tall'--and not only because he is over 6 foot 7 inches tall. This book will encourage and help anyone who is facing cancer themselves and point them to the God who will see them through the darkest struggles because he loves and cares for them. ""With courageous and vivid honesty, Adrian answers many challenging questions that people, including Christians, often confront when they discover they have incurable cancer."" Dr Cherith Semple, Cancer Care Specialist"

With courageous and vivid honesty, Adrian answers many challenging questions that people, including Christians, often confront when they discover they have incurable cancer. Dr Cherith Semple, Cancer Care Specialist In the journey of life it is a rare thing to find a true and loyal friend. I first met Adrian Adger in 1991 and I regard him as my best friend. It was heartbreaking when Adrian was diagnosed with cancer but, with God's help, he has stood tall and he has recaptured the joy of the Lord. It is an honour to endorse my best friend, and the reading of his life's story. Rev Brian Smyth, Trinity Presbyterian Church, Ahoghill This is an inspiring story presented with humour, honesty and deep humility. Since being gripped by divine grace, Adrian has been grounded in the Scriptures and guided by the Holy Spirit. Thus when he received a devastating medical diagnosis and faced unexpected suffering, he was enabled to address the difficult and challenging questions with a resolute confidence in the faithfulness of a Sovereign Lord who had repeatedly proven true to His Word over earlier years. This book is a vibrant testimony to the stabilising reality of the promises of God in the face of earth's uncertainties and unanswerable questions. I recommend it warmly to a wide readership. Rev Dr John Dixon, former moderator of Presbyterian Church in Ireland Adrian has faced his battle with cancer with tremendous fortitude. Resting on the promises of God, realising the presence of God, relying on the providence of God he has continued to faithfully preach the Word and carry out his pastoral responsibilities. He has proved God's grace in a wonderful way. I commend this book to you and trust that God be glorified through this production. Denis Lyle, Baptist pastor
