Evelyn OrserCritiques

All evidence points to multiple myeloma. The orthopedic specialist carefully measured his words as he pointed out the diseased areas that were clearly defined on the X – Ray film."And what is my myeloma?" Evelyn asked in innocence."Evelyn, it's cancer. Bone cancer!"The words thundered over her like an ocean wave–-overpowering–-cold–-foreboding. Had the doctor, her personal friend, just pronounced her death sentence? Further tests would either refute or confirm the preliminary diagnosis.Limp deep within, yet, on the surface, Evelyn left the office and made her way to the sidewalk. She turned her footsteps toward home, only a half block away. "Lord," she breathed, "this can't be! Not me! How many times if I thank you for the good health you have given me?"It was true, and it was Evelyn. She had cancer of the bone. But Evelyn also had a trust in God that bread faith among her friends and acquaintances and that helped carry her through the ups and downs of her bout with malignancy. Evelyn needed to think through a lot of questions, and this book is her own account of her spiritual odyssey and physical progress.
