What should we say to people who are dealing with a terminal illness? To their families? Any Christian who has ever felt helpless in the face of disease and death will welcome Life on Hold: Finding Hope in the Face of Terminal Illness, written by the father-daughter team of Laurel Seiler Brunvoll and David G. Seiler. The authors speak poignantly from their own family experience of losing a mother/wife to ovarian cancer. Despite its ragged and sometimes confusing organization, the book's frank advice and faithful perspective will offer great comfort to many Christians.
