More Than Just Healing: The Story of Brian's Ultimate Victory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780996456975)

Penny Perigan was devastated when a routine check-up of her three-year-old son, Brian, turned into diagnosis of terminal cancer. She prayed and believed that God would heal his cancer. But later, as Brian's condition worsened, she could only pray that God would not give him more than he could handle.

The author paints a picture for the reader of what it's like to be in the trenches fighting a dreaded disease that will not quit-a cancer that comes back again and again. There were so many questions to be asked and answered. Should Brian have more surgeries? Chemotherapy? Radiation? Experimental drugs? All these radical treatments made Brian so sick, and put the family under tremendous emotional and financial pressure.

Penny and Brian were fighting a war. Sometimes Brian would win a battle only to have set back after set back. All the while his body declined, his spirit grew and reached toward the light that is God. In Penny's battle, she would reach for God, who seemed absent. Then she learned that in those deep-valley days, when the diagnosis is gut-wrenching and your life is upside down, you have a choice to make. Will you become the victor of your situation or the victim? You are free to choose, but if you become the victim there will be no reward.
