Warmed by Hope: How Divine Power Shaped This Man's Story

What do we make of the events of our lives, positive or negative? How do we receive them, and how do we respond to them? What choices do we make, and what are we to make of the choices themselves?

A baby is born with life-threatening seizures, and his family is stuck on an island in poor weather ... what comes next? A young man drops out of college due to illness and is drafted into the Vietnam War. How does he respond to this turn of events? A husband and father of three gets the news that he has two forms of cancer. How shall the family choose to live in a moment like this?

Welcome to one man's journey to discover the key to troubleshooting any problem life throws at us (including those we throw at ourselves). In the sky, on land, and by sea, you will accompany the author-on the first, desperate night of his life; through tales of youthful, reckless indiscretions; head-on into military adventures with hurricanes, defectors, and falsified charges; into the not-unformidable challenges of civilian life; and at last across that final frontier of faith: trusting God in the face of one's own mortality.

Says Nickerson, "The human body is capable of enduring tremendous cold and tremendous adversity. And we can also endure when we understand that God is our refuge and strength."
