Be Not Dismayed

Cancer!

The very word strikes fear into our hearts. Can we have victory over this disease even when the final result is not what we had hoped? We can! Victory in Jesus! How do we experience this victory? What does it really mean?

Be Not Dismayed: A story of spiritual triumph is the story of my fifteen year old daughter, Erin, and her twenty-two month battle with AML, an extremely aggressive form of leukemia. As a direct result of her illness, Erin and the entire Havey family came to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. It is the story of astounding faith born of profound desperation; a story of the triumph of light over darkness.

It is difficult to find anyone who has not been affected by cancer or some other life-threatening illness. Why a loving God would allow anyone, especially a child, to suffer the horrible effects of a debilitating disease is incomprehensible to most.

To those individuals, Be Not Dismayed: A story of spiritual triumph, offers the promise of hope. It demonstrates the immense magnitude of God's grace, faithfulness and restorative power in the disconsolate face of tragedy, despair and the final enemy - death. It is an authoritative confirmation of Romans 8:28:

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are called according to his purpose."
