Don’t Waste Your Cancer

The title of this pamphlet caught my attention immediately. I never asked for Cancer so how can I waste it? Written from experience of having Cancer himself, John Piper speaks with great insight. He has 11 separate topics that he addresses. Topic 4 is “We waste our cancer if we seek comfort from odds rather than from God”. Topic 5 is “We waste our cancer if we refuse to think about death’”

Great comfort packed into a small package. If you want encouragement, this pamphlet will serve as a great resource for you.
