Healing Promises - Book Review

Recently I read the book "Healing Promises" by Amy Wallace. FBI Agent Clint Rollins is shot, but his accident may save his life. While in the hospital, they discover he has cancer. This strong agent and family man now needs to go through chemo. His wife, Sara, is an oncologist who has delt with cancer with many families. Now it is her turn to go through the personal turmoil as she and their children watch Clint go through chemo. After encouraging so many other patients in God's healing promises, can she claim them for herself?

Both Clint and Sara try to be "tough," but find that in sharing their hopes and fears with God and eventually friends, they find the help they need to make it through the days ahead. Clint continues to help track down a serial kidnapper. Days recovering from chemo and nightmares are followed by attempts to help agents follow the clues to the capture of a kidnapper who has a personal vendetta with the Rollins.

Clint and Sara discover God's healing promises are there for their family. Although this is a novel primarily, it helped me feel for those going through the cancer process. Amy weaves the story of a family with cancer with an interesting FBI adventure. I enjoyed the book, and its reminders to cling to God and His promises when the going gets tough. It shows the importance of not going it alone, but sharing our struggles with friends and family who can support us.
