Hidden Blessings

by Kim Cash Tate

Book Overview

Diagnosis: breast cancer

Prognosis: terminal

Life: just beginning

Her diamond caught the sun's rays and refracted light across the room. She'd asked herself again and again: How could she be so blessed? Partner at a prestigious law firm and engaged to the man of her dreams . . . there was no doubt. God had smiled on Kendra Woods.

But the moment Kendra is diagnosed with terminal breast cancer, her world collapses. Within days, her fianc backs out of the wedding and the firm suggests a leave of absence during her treatment. Of all the roles Kendra has played over the years--daughter, sister, friend, student, attorney, bride-to-be--cancer patient seems the most unwelcome in the world.

When her path crosses with that of youth pastor Lance Alexander, Kendra only sees the troublemaker she knew in high school. But Lance could prove an unexpected spark in the darkness that covers her. Will Kendra be able to embrace a glimmer of hope?

Amazing

A very life phenomenon book! It has a little of every day life situation and how God would want us to handle it. I love Lance’s character. One of the questions “Did ’you find Derek’s decision to leave Kendra understandable . Yes as the fleshly human being , but if he honestly loved her he could have seen her through! Could l marry someone if he was diagnosed with a terminal illness? Yes, to me it’s no different than my husband getting a terminal illness after already being married and honoring our vows staying with him for better or worse. I couldn’t up and leave him because he got sick. It’s a hard decision based ones loved and your faith in God. To deal with something as losing a love one takes on the strength of God regardless of the situation! Awesome book. I cried at the end! 😱😭
